Using a range of organic materials to create ephemeral sculptures. Her work is held in the balance of stillness and continuing motion. Playing with the notion that nothing in this world stops, the viewer only see’s it at the time they saw it and nothing else. Solomon is intrigued by the idea of not only environmental factors contributing to the destruction of the work but also the included human impact on the piece, some being deliberate while at other times being accidental. Due to the ephemerality of her work, documenting the process behind the making the work is just as necessary as the finished project. It allows the viewer to see the full story. Showing the process of how something was formed, the history of it, and then you are able to look at the finished piece in its slowly decomposing form, and begin to see its future. It becomes a time line, making the viewer increasingly aware of the aspect of time
