24″ Termesphere
Painted: 2002

This is the sphere that is on the cover of the French translation of Stephen Hawking’s A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME. The design is basically a dark and light sphere with concentric circles projecting out from one side and ending on the other side. As the circles progress from one side to the other, the width changes from small to large fitting within the opposite concentric circles. Termes used a checkerboard system on this piece to shows that everything comes from the same element, the circle.
