To create images in this series, Robert Buelteman sends high-voltage electric currents through the thin leaves and petals of North American plants that are arranged on a photographic plate. This process of plant "electrocution" leaves behind a photogram with vibrant, electric colors.

Scattered spots of surface lifting throughout (unsure if repair possible); not examined out of frame.
