A Bacchus marsh artist is bringing a multidisciplinary exhibition that combines the sacred and the gothic to The Village in Bacchus Marsh.
Heidi Bones’ The Haunted & Holy Beauty Collection uses a unique mix of AI, Photoshop, decorated cast-plaster statues, photography, music and installations.
The exhibition will have an opening on Friday, November 17, from 6pm to 8pm and show until Sunday, November 26.
Heidi Bones said her style comes from sacred gothic art treasures of skeletons, skulls and religious icons inspired by bejewelled saints and relics, memento mori, church and roadside altars and mysticism.
“[The exhibition is] a collection of sacred gothic art treasures for those who dream of skeletons, skulls and religious icons covered in jewels sitting on a golden altar surrounded by flowers, candles and incense smoke,” she said.
The exhibition will be held at what is typically an empty store front at The Village Shopping Centre.
“I had this creative idea and vision that I wanted to see [realised],” she said.
“I decided not to go down the gallery route so I found this cave-like vacant shop that has been vacant a long time and have hired it to bring this vision to life and share something unique and beautiful with everyone.
“It is a rare opportunity to see and experience something like this.”
The exhibition will be the first time the collection will be available for public viewing and purchase.
The exhibition is located at shop 44A in The Village.
