The SinkSphere by Scott Whitaker is an immersive, interactive sculpture that transforms discarded materials into something magnetic and alive.

Constructed from reclaimed stainless steel sinks and glass (and a bunch of other neat stuff), the 15-foot sphere invites viewers to touch, spin, and step into a constantly shifting reflection of light and movement.
What was once overlooked becomes a centerpiece—playful, kinetic, and impossible to ignore.

Rooted in Whitaker’s self-defined aesthetic, “Jenk,” the work challenges traditional ideas of value and waste. Each component carries a past life, repurposed and reassembled into a unified form that feels both chaotic and intentional. The result is more than sculpture—it’s a conversation about consumption, creativity, and the hidden potential in everyday materials.

Based in Park City, Utah, Whitaker describes himself as one part inventor, one part artist, and three parts mad scientist. His work is humorous, whimsical, and entirely constructed from reclaimed materials. Over more than two decades, he has developed a practice of selective treasure hunting, refining, and reimagining objects that others have cast aside, giving them new purpose and energy.

Whitaker is the founder of the Utah-based collective JenkStars, promoting sustainability through art, music, and technology, and the creator of the Buildingman Art and Music Festival in Green River, Utah. Through his installations and nonprofit work with the Center for Art and Sustainable Living, he continues to push audiences to reconsider their relationship with waste—and to recognize that what we throw away still holds power.
