Terma

Carol Bove

2013

A delicate modular lattice of brass balanced on a painted medium‑density fiberboard plinth, Terma explores architectural form, accumulation, and the tension between weight and emptiness.

You’re struck by the shimmering grid of tiny repeated cubes and open frames that seems both fragile and monumental as it drifts over the crisp white block, throwing a lacework of shadows onto the floor.

Combining industrial materials with reduced geometry, Bove links Minimalist grids and architectural model-making to postminimal sculpture, suggesting structures that read simultaneously as ruin, blueprint, and delicate object.
