17 Space Rockets

In April 2022, Renate was commissioned by Lapin Mignon — a French/UK crypto-artist and one of the earliest NFT watercolourists, active since 2019 — to create 17 ceramic rockets for her generative-art project Mignonverse. Renate had complete artistic freedom, and was asked to document as much of the process as possible — sketches, video, photos and digital 3D models.

Each rocket is unique, and paired with its own 3D NFT twin. They were tied to Mignonverse’s “17 Visionnaire” release, completed in June 2022 — the vessels that carried the project’s first NFT holders (“Mignons”) into the wider Mignonverse. The project has since grown to include 777 Genesis Pioneers (December 2022) and a planned 7,000 Explorers.
