Spearfish, SD - Termesphere Gallery

As of Thursday most of the roads were cleared and the snow had begun to melt. We visited a local art gallery here called Termesphere. It's very unique. Thankfully the artist, Dick Termes, was there to explain his work. He plays with illusions and vanishing points and paints his work on spheres and other geometrical shapes. His work is painted on the tops and bottoms and around all of the sides of these different shapes, so his art is suspended from the ceiling. Even his art gallery and workshops are geodomes - he got the designs from Buckminster Fuller himself! Check out his site, because that would explain his unique work a lot better than I could put it into words.
