36″ Termesphere
Painted: 1993
Location: Termesphere Gallery
This sphere explores how the five regular polyhedron relate to each other. Sometimes it is their vertices, sometimes the sides and sometime the faces connect with each other. I took the triangles of the octahedron, tetrahedron and the icosahedron and turned them into a torus (tori) form. The pentagons of the dodecahedron and the squares of the cube also were made into tori forms. The smaller the number of sides the polyhedrons the thicker I made the torus. Each polyhedron was color coded so you could see them as the sphere turns. They weave in and out of each other so they all get a chance to be out front some of the time.
