MINOR GODS
New works by Will Cottrell
MASS at the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill, 16th August 2026 from 10am
Small sculptural forms poised between relic, mask and presence.
Fragments that seem at once ancient, damaged and strangely alive.
Minor Gods brings together a series of small sculptural forms made from bamboo, bindings and other materials.
Part mask, part relic, part unknown object, the works suggest figures or presences without quite becoming figurative. Fractures, rough surfaces and visible fixings are left exposed; these modest objects carry a sense of ritual, damage and psychological weight. They might be artefacts from an unknown culture, fragments of something once larger, or private gods whose purpose has been forgotten.
