“A bale of hay. Timeless and simple: utterly fascinating. Looking back at the last few years of the pandemic, Riebesehl’s motif also reminds me of my many runs through the arable fields of the Meuse-Rhine region. After working at my desk – for many a Kunstpalast shift in the summer – my rigidly focused gaze switched from my almost imperceptibly flickering screen to the freshly pressed bales of hay surrounded by shimmering heat that could be seen (and smelled) in rows upon rows as far as the eye could see.” Deborah R. Eisinger, Marketing and Digital
