Montara photographer exhibiting in Portola Valley

Montara photographer Robert Buelteman’s solo exhibition "A Matter of Scale" runs from Jan 17 to Feb 23 at Spur Projects in Portola Valley.

Since 1999, Buelteman has been refining a technique for making photographic images without the use of a camera, lenses, or a computer.  Working with a sheet of film, a metal plate, and a plant specimen, Buelteman passes an electrical charge through the plant’s base, producing brilliantly lit portraits in an otherworldly blaze of color.

The artworks in A Matter of Scale will range in size from massive (40 x 96 inches) to diminutive (15 x 6 inches).  He explains, "An integral part of my process is seeking unrecognized dimensions in the commonplace."
