This collection highlights the fruits of his artistic exploration, reflecting his ability to blend these technologies seamlessly into his creative practice. The new pieces showcased, predominantly created in the past year, reflect the evolution of Walsh’s practice, advancements in digital tools, his innovative spirit and dedication to pushing the limits of artistic expression.
About the Artist:
Currently based in the San Francisco Bay area, Michael Walsh is a versatile artist with a strong foundation in sculpture and industrial design. His art career is marked by his pioneering use of cutting-edge digital technologies and seamlessly integrating these digital manufacturing methods into his practice. His artistic journey began with graffiti/style writing on the East Coast in the pre-millennium era. Walsh credits painting in old steel mills and factories in Pennsylvania, along with the influence of the industrial landscape, as the foundation for his evolution into fabricating and casting metal sculptures. His sculpting process is often inspired by the dynamic rhythms and melodies of music, transforming the fluidity and energy of sound into physical forms that embody movement and dynamic composition. Over the years, Michael Walsh has transcended conventional boundaries, continually pushing the limits of his practice and advancing the evolution of contemporary sculpture.

These works challenge, inspire, and resonate on deep emotional and spiritual levels, offering a glimpse into the boundless universe within.

About the Exhibtiion
The term Psychonaut—derived from the Greek words psyche (soul, mind) and nautēs (sailor)—describes an individual who explores the vast and often uncharted realms of inner space. These inner travelers seek transformation, truth, and transcendence through various methods of altered perception: whether through entheogenic substances, deep meditation, sensory deprivation, or rhythmic sonic frequencies like binaural beats. The psychonaut’s journey is one of self-discovery and spiritual excavation, a modern continuation of ancient shamanic traditions that have utilized non-ordinary states of consciousness for healing, insight, and communion with the divine.
For millennia, cultures around the world have used altered states to tap into mystical dimensions, unlock ancestral wisdom, and access what some believe are hidden realms of the universe—or even glimpses of future prophecy. Today, this lineage continues through the creative practices of contemporary artists who return from their inner voyages with what can be described as pictorial currency: symbolic, surreal, and often awe-inspiring works that serve as maps or portals into the metaphysical dimensions they've encountered.
The artists featured in Psychonauts are not merely documenting psychedelic experiences—they are channeling them. Their works become immersive environments, visual meditations, and conduits of altered perception. For the viewer, these pieces may evoke their own memories of psychedelic experience, or offer a vicarious, transformative entry point into expanded consciousness. The exhibition becomes not just a display, but an experience—one that resonates on psychic, emotional, and spiritual levels.
As society undergoes a cultural re-evaluation of psychedelics, we are witnessing a renaissance in their acceptance, both spiritually and medically. Modern scientific research is affirming what indigenous knowledge has long held: that substances like psilocybin and ayahuasca have the power to alleviate depression, anxiety, addiction, and even existential despair. They offer more than just relief—they offer profound spiritual awakening and a reorientation of purpose and meaning in one’s life.
The works in Psychonauts are imbued with the essence of these experiences. They are not only inspired by altered states—they may induce them. As conceptual reflections of inner journeys, these pieces invite the viewer to engage not just with the artwork, but with themselves. In doing so, they carry the potential to transmit some of the very healing, insight, and wonder that originally inspired them.
“Psychonauts” is more than an exhibition—it is an invitation to voyage inward, to question the nature of reality, and to awaken to the profound possibilities that lie within.
