Lichen
You can find them on trees, on walls and on loose stones. Lichens can be found in many places as long as the air is clean enough. They are sometimes very flat but can also have an interesting structure. Rineke made a beautiful green and pure white glass one.
For ever
When Rineke lived with Koos in Kenya, they met an English couple, Gary and Joanna. With children of the same age, we sought each other out and a nice friendship developed. Gary and Joanna now run the beautiful rural wedding venue Higher Holcombe in Devon, England. Rineke made two connected hearts as a present for a visit to them.
Sun on snow
This winter there was snow in front of the window of Rineke’s studio. When the sun shines on it, you can see the most beautiful colorful reflections of light. That effect is also visible in this new work ‘Sun on snow’.
Wall installation 1
Rineke always wanted to make a glass ‘object’ that could be ‘floating’ on the wall. But in such a way that the structure of the glass remains clearly visible and that light can shine through the work. The fantastic result stays in her house at the front door!
Butterfly Flip
Often they are all close together, butterflies. Especially when a butterfly bush blooms, which attracts them in large numbers. Rineke made this pile of purple butterflies with great pleasure, with a well-known showjumping horse with the same name in mind.
Marigold
The Marigold is a welcome guest in Rineke’s garden. Lovely sunny flowers in cheerful colors. Rineke braided them into a garland of glass. Beautiful Marigolds!
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….
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.
