Tulip Vase, 2022

For the exhibition A Sea of Glass (2013) at the National Glass Museum Leerdam, several contemporary artists were invited to create glass artworks inspired by the drawings and models of marine biologist Erich Heckel. Christie van der Haak's comtribution was a series of glass squids with that she produced with master glassblower Gert Bullée. This was the start of long term collaboration with Bullée in which they started producing glass vases based on her designs. This tulip vase has an open core in which a soft brown pigment has been applied. Surrounding it are transparent layers containing elongated round shapes in pink, green, brown and beige that give the vase a delicate and elegant appearance.
