Vice VERsa - Sally Fawkes

In 2017 Sally Fawkes was invited by MusVerre in France to explore the Avesnois area close by and then translate her impressions in glass during an artist residency at the museum's Glass Studio.

Vice VERsa, immerses the visitor in the mirror of the Avesnois region described by the artist through a narration of glass sculptures and painted glass panels. Sally Fawkes looks at the many realities of the area focusing on notions of place and boundaries, the traces of of human interventions on the landscape, the mark of industrial and social history imbedded in local culture, the almost virtual border between France and Belgium, objects of everyday life and vernacular architecture, the past and the future and vice versa.
