Sheila Hicks has created an original fibre installation for the Château de Chaumont, Loir-et-Cher, France, titled Sens dessus dessous.
Hicks has created work specifically to be in harmony with the time-worn walls and the peeling wallpaper, giving glimpses of secrets and long-hidden stories and reviving snippets of history that will allow visitors to travel back in time and rediscover the colours of the past. The castle itself was founded in the 10th century by Odo I, Count of Blois and the castle and gardens are now both open to the public.
