Through the Green Fuse: Photographs by Robert Buelteman

January 8 through May 8, 2005

This exhibition was made possible by the generosity of Sonja and William Davidow

“Through the Green Fuse is the inaugural presentation of the complete portfolio of Robert Buelteman’s revealing otherworldly flora images. Robert Buelteman was an established landscape photographer when, in 1999, he began experimenting with a new technique that would lead to the most striking and surprising work of his career.

In Buelteman’s own words, “The imagery succeeds when I reach a point where my conscious intention dissipates and is replaced by a sense of being a conduit for the serendipitous dance I’ve imagined between subject and spirit.”

-Karen Sinsheimer, Curator of Photography, SBMA
