CLAMPS

Inspired by Nairy Baghramians work for the Marian Goodman Gallery (featured in one of my previous posts), I really like the idea of a giant clamp holding together sculptures and/or materials. A clamp as a readymade feature of the work is suggestive of different uncontrollable pieces being forced to stay together. Much like the objects representing the mind of an individual that may be in a bad state from recreational drugs, depression or other trauma - and the clamp being those around them like family, friends, councillors, therapists who try to keep it together for said individual. Perhaps something I could include?
