Victoria has created faith-based art for many years, but in re-creating this journey of Christ from a different perspective, placing the viewer at the centre of the scene with every step, the imagery succeeds in reaching out beyond Christianity, bringing the humanitarian bonds of humankind to the forefront of our thoughts.

There is an exclusive preview evening on Tuesday, February 17, with public viewing running from Wednesday, February 18 to April 1. 

''We are honoured to welcome a powerful new art installation to Holy Trinity Parish Church this Lent - The Stations of the Cross - an installation by Victoria Heath.
