Nairy Baghramian

For Yorkshire Sculpture International 2019, Nairy Baghramian displayed works from her Maintainers series, recent sculptures that combine aluminium casts, coloured wax and lacquer painted braces with cork. The resolute materiality of each independent element is seemingly contradicted by the tentative physical relationships between them, which suggest the possibility of continuous rearrangement.

Alongside the Maintainers Baghramian also presented a new work that was displayed for the first time at The Hepworth Wakefield developing ideas explored in the Maintainers works.
