Welcome to rolling ball sculptures designed and created by David Morrell. Avid Creations is a company based in Adelaide, South Australia, and are able to supply rolling ball sculptures world wide. Through our website you are able to view and purchase existing sculptures that we have designed and developed, or alternatively contact us for further information regarding commissioning a sculpture of your own design.
A rolling ball sculpture is a series of tracks where a marble or ball makes it's way along, through, over, under, around and down the sculpture. Along it's path the marbles pass through 'track components' which either slow, speed up, or purely entertain the user. Track components for example may include loops or tipping arms.
Design plays an important role in the development of the sculptures, and there are an infinite number of design possibilities for any one sculpture.
Our sculptures are on public display in hospitals, company offices, and schools worldwide. Many of our sculptures are also in private collections. The sculptures are the perfect gift for that person who thinks they have everything.
If you wonder how David started building Rolling Ball Sculptures watch the video for an insight.
Always wondered how the sculptures are built?
Rolling ball sculptures are displayed in many museums and art galleries world wide.
In 2007 a large rolling ball sculpture was featured in the movie 'Fracture', starring Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling. The rolling ball sculpture, approx 6ft high by 6ft wide was built with shiny metallic tracks and carved wooden wheels. Small glass balls skittered and rolled in an elaborately choreographed dance - a beautiful piece of precision machinery and impressive kinetic art.
