Patterns of Reflection

Patterns of Reflection is a 24" diameter Termesphere. It is a study of reflections in a pond. You as the viewer are in the middle of the pond turning in a circle looking at the trees around you and their reflections into the water. Working with the sphere and imagining he was within a transparent sphere in the pond Termes studied how the reflections worked. "The sphere teaches us things the flat surface doesn't." He learned that all the trees around him reflect straight to a point on the bottom of the ball. He also learned that all the motion in the water that one sees comes from concentric circles echoing out from the point on the bottom of the ball. It also is a beautiful scene. The artist owns this spherical painting.
