Michael Walsh opens at BSoA tonight

Bermudian artist and first-time exhibitor Michael Walsh opens an exhibition of his work in the Bermuda Society of Arts’ Onion Gallery this evening. While he is keeping details close to his chest, Mr. Walsh sums up the show, which is entitled ‘The Weight of Being’, as “literally an installation of 20 dents made by 20 bodies”.

“My latest work is a record of (gravity) between us and the earth. The significance of (gravity) existing between us I invite you to create,” he says.
