    "Space and light are the preferred fields of representation in Renate Hoffleit's work, although she makes space visible more through dialogue than through sheer size. In this sense, the artist's work arises in a social context, which also includes collaborative works, mostly with Michael Bach Bachtischa – as recently in a visual-acoustic installation in the Domnick Collection, Nürtingen. Hoffleit's abstracted individual sculptures are sometimes transparent (translucent) and sometimes opaque (impervious to light).

In the case of the solidly cast "Meadow Eggs" and the "Golden Ice," the finding can be deduced indirectly: the rigid foam mold, and thus the size of the eggs, is determined by the lime leaching rate in the Jurassic limestone per minute, as can be calculated in the Swabian Alb, measured by the vertical The drainage of precipitation, for which there are scientific studies. Now, Renate Hoffleit's empirical inclination doesn't go so far as to meticulously examine this. Thus, the dimensions of the Aich eggs actually refer to the data for the Alb eggs of the sculpture trail on the so-called "Great Alb Trail" (Swabian Alb).

        Where art and nature meet, the hiker is offered an entertaining change along the way. The impressive open-air gallery SCULPTOURA shows more than 60 sculptures made of wood, metal and stone by over 50 artists, placed amidst the beautiful landscapes of the Schönbuchlichtung, the Würmtal and the Heckengäu. The SCULPTOURA - actually created in 2014 as a one-off event - has become an integral part of the region. Discover a fantastic interplay between art and nature.
