This is actually the second installation using these same tree stumps. The first socks were winter-themed in blues and white. I like the bright socks much better.
The 6 20-foot tree stumps are in front of a Starbucks and Taco Bell which are at the entrance to a local high school. I liked it when the only things in front of the school were trees.
But the trees were chopped. I don't know why-they blocked the coffee and fast food signs, I guess.
But the trees were chopped. I don't know why-they blocked the coffee and fast food signs, I guess. The art piece has caused quite a stir in our local community. Including a lively discussion at my quilt group. I like the socks. I like the whimsy, the temporary nature of the installation. I loved the trees. But if they had to go, I think the socks are a fun farewell before the stumps head off to a wetland habitat.
Make it a Wonderful Day!
We drive past these sock trees every week and will certainly miss seeing them. I love the creative solution to an ugly stump. I vote they stay where they are - but no body's asking me!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the socks! I haven't seen anything like that in NZ. They are so colourful and fun, how could anyone be against them? Boring people!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story! I think the colors are beautiful! I like the socks on the stumps!!
