RECLAIMED materials are claiming the top spot at Bolin Bolin Gallery.
New exhibition, the Sanctum Theatre’s Conservatory of Singular Specimens, has taken over the Bulleen gallery and gardens with sculptures and murals sending an eco-friendly message.
Co-ordinating artist Lachlan Plain said the exhibition, on until March 25, had a strong base in naturalism.
“Reclaimed timber, cloth and metals have been used to celebrate the environment and things like animals and the trees,” he said.
“The gallery and garden is an ark upon which we rescue some of our most singular specimens.”
