The Sock Sculpture

The Sock was created by the sculptress Shona Kinloch, having been commissioned by Charnwood Borough Council "to provide an attractive feature and focus of public interest". It was unveiled in 1998.

The statue is of a man seated on a bollard, wearing only a sycamore leaf and a sock, which he is looking down at admiringly.


Just looks like a fat ugly man with no clothes on to me but perhaps I am not sophisticated enough......
