Termesphere: Creating Total Worlds with Dick Termes
“You don’t see flat canvases in nature.” And that’s why Dick Termes created his Termespheres.
These 3-D spheres came from Termes’ mind, gaining international attention and fans. And the Termespheres are still created to this day. Visitors are welcome at his studio and the Termesphere® Gallery outside of Spearfish. Enjoy this gorgeous short film about a truly unique man and his perspective on creativity.
The sphere is so much nature, it's so much more like nature than a flat canvas.
