Photograms by Ron Moultrie Saunders

Featured alongside the glass offerings are camera-less photographs, or photograms, by San Francisco artist Ron Moultrie Saunders. The photogram is a 19th Century artform involving direct exposure of a photographic subject onto the photo paper without the use of a camera.

In Heat & Light, Saunders layers plant material onto the surface of silver-based photographic paper. The paper is then exposed to light emitted from an enlarger to create a shadowy silhouette image. The resultant photogram is an almost ghostly image of a botanical subject, akin to an X-Ray, with each detail of the plant material defined by light.

Heat & Light is the first collaborative effort by two Bayview arts organizations, Public Glass and Art 94124. Both organizations share a common goal to inspire, strengthen, and unify the community through art.
