As you may know from my borderline obsessive posting about it, I love when colour brings magic to urban eyesores or shows up in unexpected places. More often than not, this is in the form of street art or installations. I fell in love with these pretty darn adorable “it socks to be lonely” interactive installations in Brooklyn, New York. If you happen to live in Williamsburg and also happen to have a mateless sock, head to Bedford Avenue and North 4th or Berry Street and North 4th. Tacked up with other colourful and patterned fabric widows, you sad sock has a chance at a new life. One of the most smile-inducing pieces of street art I’ve seen in a long time. I can’t wait to see it grow as more socks are added. Please send updates if you are in the area!
