Collection: Bill Ming │ Bermuda: Stories in Memory

Bermuda: Stories in Memory, an exhibition of new collage works by Bermudian artist Bill Ming, is on view in the Rick Faries Gallery from March 14 - May 10. Masterworks has partnered with Bermudian curator Daisy Gould, who has instigated and guest-curated the exhibition and accompanying publication.

Ming’s new suite of works on show are deeply rooted in Bermuda’s history and culture as well as Ming’s memories of growing up on the island. While Ming is locally known best for his sculptural and assemblage works, this new body of work, created between 2023-24, focuses on Ming’s collage practice. An important element of his artistic oeuvre for many years, Ming’s collages incorporate maps, popular images, scans of foraged foliage, pages from books, and even elements from old works. Created in his studio in Newark, UK, where he has lived since the 1970’s, this new body of work is in many ways a return home to Bermuda for the 80-year-old artist.
