Rural Heritage: an exhibition of monochrome prints

Seeing through a photographer’s eyes

Rodney Marchant makes intensely beautiful monochrome photographs of the things that attract his well-tuned photographer’s eye: places across the towns and landscapes of our central Victorian goldfields region, using a modified camera, and printing his own images.

Don’t miss this exhibition. All welcome and (as always) our exhibitions are free.
