In 2003, she also completed a postgraduate program at the Jan Van Eyck Academie in Maastricht, the Netherlands. Deball’s interest in the mathematical laws and geometrical structures present in landscape and throughout the organic universe have contributed to a unique body of work in which elements of science and nature are synthesized into sculptural objects.

For her 2011 exhibition at Museo Experimental El Eco in Mexico City, Deball presented a site-specific installation titled This constructed disorder, allows geological surprises for the most abandoned memory.

Supported by a vast metallic structure that meandered like a snake through the building, the work incorporated diverse and irregularly shaped papier-mâché forms imprinted with motifs from her archive including air plants, mathematical models, and mineral format
