Hamish Keith's Poignant Paint Ode to Auckland
The influential writer and creative has collaborated with PPG Paints for their innovative New Zealand Makers range of bespoke colours
Monday Dec. 14, 2020
A tribute to creativity and visionaries, for its New Zealand Makers campaign PPG Paints has challenged five local tastemakers to devise their own suite of paint hues.
Writer Hamish Keith is one of the first group of creatives — joined by designer Beth Ellery and artist Saskia Leek, photographer Mark Smith, and glass artist Suzanne Hanly.
Working closely with PPG Paints’ colour experts (including Chief Coloursmith Rachel Lacy) and the brand’s innovative colour creation technology, Hamish has created a deeply personal range of paint hues — evocative warm greys, a characterful rust, manuka green and a blue called, quite simply, joy.
