Current Exhibit: Village Green Bacchus Marsh

'Holy Beauty' 2–30 September 2025, Heidi Bones - 31 August to 30 September 2025

In this hauntingly luminous exhibition Holy Beauty, Icons + Bones spills into the everyday world, transforming the local light boxes into portals of fantasy, ritual, and reverence. Each glowing box becomes an altar - illuminated with visions of golden guardians, sacredness and the most treasured of treasures: the Golden Madonna. These are scenes steeped in devotion and myth, shadow and light, legend and becoming.

They invite you to look within and ask yourself, What is valuable? What is sacred? What is important? What deserves your devotion?
