From The Vow Made will be a landmark sculptural installation featuring 1,000 wax objects made by 1,000 people in Devon, suspended from Exeter Cathedral’s magnificent nave.
Inspired by the theme of ‘giving thanks’, each of the 1,000 objects, or votives, included in the installation will have been hand-crafted out of local Devon beeswax by a member of the local community , representing something for which each person is grateful.
The Votives Project is led by international award-winning artists Neil Musson and Jono Retallick, and is kindly supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. The project is inspired by Exeter Cathedral’s medieval votive collection. The moulded votive offerings were hung around the tomb of Bishop Edmund Lacy (c. 1370-1455) by pilgrims seeking cures through the bishop’s saintly influence.
