Tyrrell Winston (b. 1985, Arizona) is a contemporary American artist whose practice centers on collecting, organizing, and reconfiguring discarded and forgotten objects found on the streets of New York City. Best known for his assemblages of found basketballs—manipulated into sculptural wall compositions—his work explores "embedded history," the idea that the objects we discard carry a permanent, narrative energy long after we've moved on.
His practice spans sculpture, painting, collage, and mixed-media works, drawing on themes of memory, nostalgia, resurrection, and sports culture to examine the parallels between hope and hopelessness, vitality and recklessness. Winston has exhibited internationally across cities including Tokyo, Seoul, Paris, Brussels, and Athens, and in 2022 had his first museum solo exhibition at the Cranbrook Art Museum in Detroit.
