Mike Solomon: On My Way
This body of work is initially inspired by growing up in the outdoors of B.C. There was always lots of skiing, fishing and mountain trips, and looking through my old photographs brings back so many fond memories.
"This year I was fortunate enough to take several camping trips to the Fraser Canyon where I became fascinated with the history of the area and wondered what it would’ve been like for the people back then. What was it like to live in B.C. before I was alive? What were people’s experiences like 100 years ago? I spent some time going to museums, researching areas and talking to people about their family’s experiences. Hopefully my experiences will be as interesting to the following generations. As a result, the paintings in this series are like slices of life from our brief linear timeline, different time period and different perspectives of the “goings on” in our supernatural province."
