Feels like Mimi Smith's clothing and clock sculptures are the most radical. Clothing and clocks are perfect forms for feminist conceptual art.
Mimi Smith's sculptural clock, Don't Turn Back (1985) employs words and phrases to address the timely issue of reproductive rights.

Around the clock's perimeter and on the clock hands, it says "Don't turn back the hands of time; protect women's right to choose".

It happens from time to time as bsky is trying to handle so many new users. But it usually goes away after an hour or so or after refreshing the app.

Not one of his Playscapes, but Noguchi’s “peach pit” at Storm King is one of our family’s favorites. Fun to climb inside!
