Indian summer
Inevitably, summer is coming to an end. Autumn begins, trees change colour. In America, they call that period the Indian Summer. It inspired Rineke to make her own Indian Summer, warm, red, beautiful to see.
Misty morning
Too bad that the summer is passing, but Rineke can also enjoy a foggy walk in the morning. Especially if it’s not too early….
Tulip
The round open shape of a tulip was the inspiration for making Tulip. It continues to amaze that you can turn a straight, flat sheet of glass with sharp edges into such a round, smooth and organic work of art. Rineke gets happy from that result and enjoys the shapes and colors of the clear glass. Nice and sunny!
Sugar
Rineke experiments with working with square plates of glass that she calls pixels. This is how Sugar was created, a double-sided crystal with a clear iridescent core. Isn’t it sweet?
Seventies
In the seventies, the colors were fresh, bright and often contrasting. The atmosphere was optimistic, we were doing well! Rineke has tried to express that feeling in ‘Seventies’. It makes you happy and we can use that.
Kitchen garden
Her cultivation trays with herbs and cut flowers for the home inspired Rineke to create this cozy Kitchen garden.
Blossom
Rineke made Blossom, floating on a surface, inspired by magnolia in the garden and water lilies during a walk. The work is signed with her “Crazy face”. The freshness of spring radiates from it. Glorious!
Quadruplets
Rineke made quadruplets of blue droplets through which plenty of light can pass. The work gives a feeling of a nice fresh shower at the end of a warm lazy day.
Pink slate
Pink slate from Canada, like Rineke’s glass art, is made up of layers.
Due to the slanted position of the work, the layers of glass seem to slide away from each other as if you were looking into a quarry.
But in bright pink glass, beautiful!
Confetti
Celebrate life, it’s a party! Sprinkle a few handfuls of confetti on top and the party is complete. That’s the feeling Rineke had when she started making this glass piece of art. The work turned out as intended, again a reason for a party!
