Hoffleit's abstracted individual sculptures are sometimes transparent (translucent to light) and sometimes opaque (impermeable to light). But she always exploits this spectrum in connection with the surroundings, that is, the surroundings - such as the geological condition, the influence of light or the vegetation - determines the material presence of the works. In the case of the solidly cast “Meadow Eggs” and the “Golden Ice”, the findings can be accessed via a detour: the hard foam casting mold and thus the The size of the eggs depends on the amount of lime washed out in the Jurassic limestone per minute, as can be calculated in the Swabian Alb, measured from the vertical drainage of precipitation, about which there are scientific surveys. Renate Hoffleit's empirical inclination does not go so far as to meticulously practice this. The dimensions of the Aich eggs actually refer to the data for the Alb eggs on the sculpture trail on the so-called “Great Alb Trail” (Swabian Alb).
