Sock it to me

As a recent Fine Art graduate I have found myself looking at the domestic and recently focused on the mundane and often overlooked clothes peg. Fascinating imagery around the peg such as holding on and fighting with nature and washday metaphors such as don’t air your dirty washing in public which in these times have direct correlation’s to the use of the mobile phone, have led me this fun way of exploring the domestic and hopefully discovering even more interesting and revealing metaphors and ideas for future work.

Sock it to me is a request for your lonely socks (we all have them lingering in the bottoms of our drawers) and to hang them in a celebration, a salute to the individual and revelation of what we as a community wear on our feet! This is an event that the whole family can enjoy dig out your socks and a peg or two and join me in this celebration of the unsung hero – the sock….. Tell me about them, write a poem, a story, draw them, ……   we will just have fun
