Nairy Baghramian's white plaster and aluminum sculpture named "Scruff of the Neck (UL 11, F)" is affixed to the gallery's white wall. Bulbous and organically shaped matte white plaster objects, partly coated with yellow bees-wax along the edges, are set in front of large uneven panes of cast and polished aluminum. These in turn are supported by dynamically mounted constructions of slender metal rods likewise polished to a silvery shine and affixed in two points to the gallery wall. Along the sides of several of these pieces of sculptural debris, hook-shaped proliferations reach out into thin air.
