"When I was a little girl, growing up in france, my mother worked sewing tapestries. Some of the tapestries were exported to America. The only problem was that many of the images on the tapestries were of naked people. My mother’s job was to cut out—the genitals of men and women and replace these parts with flowers so they could be sold to americans. My mother saved all the pictures of the genitials over the years, and one day she sewed them together as a quilt and then she gave the quilt to me. That’s the difference between French and American aesthetics."

"I want my projects to be socially conscious.
I want my projects to be simple, approachable, and defined by the vocabulary of everyday objects.
I want my projects to be easy to understand, even if it’s in a different way than I intended.
I want the form of my projects to follow the underlying concept, nothing more.
I am more interested in communicating ideas and less interested in making art."

Blake Fall-Conroy Sculpture - artist statement.

Blake Fall-Conroy is the artist who made the crank-machine below and I am glad I took the trouble to trace that back to his website; lots of great work there!

This machine allows anyone to work for minimum wage for as long as they like. Turning the crank on the side releases one penny every 4.97 seconds, for a total of $7.25 per hour. This corresponds to minimum wage for a person in New York. This piece is brilliant on multiple levels, particularly as social commentary. Without a doubt, most people who started operating the machine for fun would quickly grow disheartened and stop when realizing just how little they’re earning by turning this mindless crank. A person would then conceivably realize that this is what nearly two million people in the United States do every day…at much harder jobs than turning a crank. This turns the piece into a simple, yet effective argument for raising the minimum wage.
