Shaped by Time – An Exhibition by Michael Cox

June 18th – August 9th
Beau Photo Gallery Space
Opening Reception
June 26th 4:30 – 6:30pm

Come by Beau and see the latest exhibition in our gallery space –

Erosion, silt, landslide – the geography of British Columbia is continually and dramatically altered in sudden and subtle ways. In the Chilcotin, in the Fraser and Thompson canyons, below UBC, and along the Fraser estuary, apparently stable landscapes are never as still as we perceive. This is mirrored, as I observe with some detachment, in the abrasions and defoliations of my aging body, its own processes of erosion.

There has never been a time when I haven’t had a camera of one make or another in my hands. Whether selling cameras or books, working on film sets or directing shorts, even driving buses – photography has remained the lens through which I make sense of the world, both root and compass, anchoring me in purpose and understanding.

The images in this exhibition were made in 2024 with a Fujifilm GFX medium format digital camera, edited with Capture One using film emulations by Mastin Labs, and printed (by myself) on an Epson P800 with paper from Red River, Ilford, and Epson.
