One of a kind
Schinken Bälle explores the pull of obsession and the strange beauty of imperfection. Handcrafted and layered with plaster of Paris, each rounded, irregular ball is unique, asserting its presence without apology.
Their ham-like colour evokes both humour and intimacy, drawing attention to the objects we fixate on, the distractions we indulge, and the impulses we cannot fully control.
The piece reflects the human tendency to cling to fascination sometimes for joy, sometimes to avoid what is difficult, uncomfortable, or unresolved. In their imperfection, the balls reveal honesty and rawness, inviting the viewer to consider what captures their attention, what they resist, and what they celebrate.
Schinken Bälle asks us to linger with that tension, to embrace curiosity, and to recognise the unexpected beauty that emerges when desire, distraction, and imperfection converge.
