"what Georgie said"

''Exchange-value''

I really liked this work also and on the same premise as Georgie. I liked the way it was still able to convey its message without the use of elaborate imagery or dense visualizations. It stood simply as uneven scales forced into an "equal" existence by the use of a tiny piece of wood wedged into the joining point from which both sides were balanced. The work, regardless of its simplicity of form, seemed to speak of power, strength and economy while also suggesting vulnerability and misguided values.  A poetic analogy of societies imposed ideas of equality.
