# Self-Referencing Ball Sculptures Each of These 12 Balls is Made from a Different Material By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-09-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ball-sculpture References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/round-sculpture-lars-fisk/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [marlboroughchelsea](http://marlboroughchelsea.com/chelsea/exhibitions/lars-fisk-mr-softee) The Brooklyn-based sculptor Lars Fisk will have his installation of ball sculptures featured at the [Marlborough Chelsea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deborah-butterfield-1) gallery in New York this month. The sculptures are all spherical in their shape and vary immensely in size and design. Each of the balls are named after the same material they were designed with, with examples such as [mosaic tiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition) making up the 'Stop Balls' trio, bark making up the 'Tree Ball,' cobblestone making up the 'Street Ball,' and a parking lot design on the 'Lot Ball.' Each of the ball sculptures are different sizes, ranging from tiny shaved pencil balls to ones that are over 15 feet tall. This series of ball sculptures finds a creative way to use a diverse range of materials to create reinterpreted forms of the objects they were inspired by. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Diverse Material Sculptures:** Opportunity for artists and designers to explore the use of unconventional materials in their creations. - **Spherical Sculpture Installations:** Potential for immersive and interactive art experiences through the use of spherical sculptures in installations. - **Reinterpreted Object Forms:** Possibility to reinvent everyday objects through the use of unique materials and shapes in sculptures. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Innovative materials and sculpture techniques can be applied in the art and design industry for unique artistic expressions. - **Gallery and Exhibition:** Opportunity for galleries and exhibition spaces to showcase interactive and visually striking installations featuring spherical sculptures. - **Sculpture Manufacturing:** Potential for manufacturers to explore new materials and techniques for creating spherical sculptures with a modern twist. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gem-Like Sculptural Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cylindrical-lenses.md) - [Deconstructed Eroded Soccer Balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deconstructed-soccer-ball.md) - [Fluid Basketball-Net Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swimming-pools-and-bubblegum.md) - [Whimsical Sculptural Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-block-series.md) - [Artful Garden Inflatable Spheres](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this-is-air.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Basketball-Themed Floral Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunflower-vessel.md) - [Sophisticated Upcycled Home Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures.md) - [Spiky Inflatable Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-sculptures1.md)
