This newsletter explains a four foot sphere I did for the Sioux Falls Convention Center. Also within this newsletter I explain some new spherical concepts where you can see through the spheres and see the back side. The 30" Matthews Opera House sphere is also explained which I am just getting started at. I explain what my connectin with Mathematics is and also why the Termes Illusion works. The last section discusses where ideas come from.

I am working on a 24" sphere commission for Tom and Theresa Matthews. They live just over the state line in Beulah Wyoming. The sphere plays with images of the Matthews' Ranch twenty miles south of Gillette Wyoming. Four generations with the name Tom Matthews have worked on this family ranch from 1881 into today. The T7 Ranch, as it is called, has been the foundation for many Matthews individuals. The Matthews family was responsible for the Matthews Opera House as well as the whole Matthews Block of buildings in Spearfish South Dakota. This sphere incorporates these people and their influence in this area.

I want to start this news letter off with some information on my son Lang Termes. I am very proud of what he has done with his music career. Not only is he finding steady gigs in Bozeman Montana but also creating 80% of the music he plays. I am pleased he sees the difference in playing what the world has already accepted and trying to find new paths. I know this is a much harder path to travel but in the end it is much more rewarding.

It's time for the First Annual Open House at the Termesphere Gallery. Plus Dick answers the question, "Was 6 point perspective found or invented". Termes is featured in this stunning book along with 18 other artists including M.C. Escher and Salvador Dali. It's working title is OUT OF THE TRIANGLES. Most of us think the triangle has three sides. Technically that is still true but when Dick starts to dance the Tessellation dance, it takes on whole new meanings.

Dick's latest sphere-Food For Thought features his unique six point perspective view of the restaurant at Santa Fe's famous La Fonda Hotel. His current work in progress is titled BRAIN STRAIN. Some of us think understanding six point perspective is a bit of a brain strain in itself. When asked about this piece Dick says, "The object of this piece is to show that you can use more than six points for perspective--like 30 points." Ouch!
