We The People
WE THE PEOPLE is a 30″ Termesphere which has freedom trees who’s branches form the people who have been hugely involved in these different freedoms. The roots form the forefathers of our country. The road running throughout the piece is the Constitution of the United States.
Six Senses Termesphere
This 16″ Termesphere overlaps the six senses over the six vanishing points. Trees take the shape of faces who’s ears, eyes, mouths etc. overlap the vanishing points. It makes the point that the environments are only possible to understand if our senses are doing their job.

Thinking in the Round Exhibit
The Dahl Art Center
50 Termespheres are hanging and rotating in the Stan Adelstein and Lynda Clark Gallery at the Dahl Arts Center in Rapid City South Dakota. This is the largest exhibition I have ever put together. The space is wonderful for hanging Termespheres!
The Hanging of a 50 Piece Show
The opening for the show was March 20th . The show includes Termesphere of many sizes, ranging from 8” to three feet spheres. The 36” transparent sphere HOLES OF THE WHOLE, made its debut at this show. HOLES OF THE WHOLE shows an inside and an outside world. You can look into the sphere and discover a whole different scene. This exhibit is wonderful in that it lets the audience really study each of the pieces.
“Thinking in the Round” Opening Night
I am really hoping to get this show into museums around the country and the world. If you have ideas where a show of this size would go in your area, I would appreciate an email with information about the venue and any ideas on who to contact.
New DVD
DRAWING THE WHOLE PICTURE
One through Five Point Perspective
I recently developed a DVD on ONE THROUGH FIVE POINT PERSPECTIVE. This DVD shows me using grids to creating drawings of one through five point perspective. This system of using perspective grids is a wonderful new way to teach students. The DVD is in fast motion so you can go through the six drawings in 40 minutes. Seeing the drawings materialize helps students experience the process. The drawings develop right in front of your eyes in fast motion, so each drawing takes only 5 to 6 minutes. An example of this process can be seen on my youtube.
This youtube shows me working on a drawing using a four point perspective grid system. The drawing captures a 360 degree interior. What I am pleased about with this new system of teaching perspective is that it is much easier for the students and they can get much further, faster. When they are finished they can draw 360 degree pictures all the way around them. They will also understand how to use curved line perspective.
Porthole to the Past
This is a 36 inch diameter spherical painting that is owned by the Visitors Center in Deadwood South Dakota. It shows a total view of the old town of Deadwood from 1876-9 before it burned down in 1879. Termes used old photographs and information found in books written about that time period to make sure of its accuracy. Many of the people of that time are found in this sphere.
