Artist Rebekah Waites designed Relevé to be burned at the close of the exhibition. Visitors had written messages on the sculpture before the ceremony.
The event announcement described illuminated sculptures and lanterns made with pupils at Outwood Academy Newbold and community group Mums United.
The lanterns and the three participatory sculpture builds, including Relevé, were organised by Chatsworth’s Learning and Engagement team.
Relevé was inspired by the Nine Ladies stone circle in Derbyshire and its folklore of women turned to stone for dancing on the Sabbath. It consisted of nine twisted wooden forms.
The work celebrated dance, music and art.
The 2022 exhibition featured 12 sculptures. Chatsworth House Trust reported that more than 580,000 people came to see it.
