Rineke enjoys experimenting with glass, how far can you go? She tried to make a square tower of orange and clear glass. The oven is heated so high that the glass becomes pliable and sticky, but not liquid. In this experiment, the oven was clearly set a little too high. The work collapsed and part of it broke off. Learned something again!

The glass sculpture Heavy Metal is included in an online exhibition of the British Contemporary Glass Society. This growing community with almost 1,000 members was curious to see how glass art develops outside of Great Britain. Rineke sent a photo of Heavy Metal that was accepted for inclusion in the exhibition! Nice because that way you can also get to know the work of Rineke there.

The exhibition of Rineke’s work at Volksgalerie DVA in Enschede has been extended until Sunday 26 March. On the closing day Rineke will be present between 14:00 and 17:00 with some new works. Come and visit us!

On Wednesday evening, February 1, the first pop-up exhibition of 14 artists opened in Volksgalerie DVA, the vernissage. Diana van Agteren of the Volksgalerie introduced all the artists one by one. Going to see 😀 that

When you buy a beautiful original work of art, you want to be sure that it really belongs to that artist. That is why her bronze statues are now marked with her logo, the Crazy Bekkie. A steel stamp now gives an imprint in the wax that can be seen in the bronze after casting. This way you know that you have a real Rineke.

Rineke’s glass sculptures are mainly made with glass fusion. Individual glass elements are melted together in the oven. The glass is then attached to each other and shines beautifully. Having your own oven has been a wish for some time. This weekend was the day. Rineke was wedged between the oven and the door in the back of the packed car for the return trip. Super happy with the possibilities that this brings.
