Games and distractions should not be left to children alone, as artist Ingrid Hulskamp demonstrates with her series of sculptural spinning toys meant for adults.
People with plenty of responsibilities and hectic work schedules tend to forget to take time out of their days to play. This collection of curios is beautiful to look at with their smooth glass exteriors and colorful fluids swirling around within. Each one distracts the mind, allowing even the most stressed adults to relax and think about nothing as they are preoccupied with the engrossing sensory experience these toys afford them.
Unraveling, balancing, sparkling and spinning toys by Ingrid Hulskamp are perfect for reminding ourselves how luxurious it is to have moments of free time.
