Sockrates - 2007 : pepper mill

"I'm the wisest sock of all for I know one thing and that is that I know nothing" - Sockrates

Created and displayed at the Wharton Esherick Museums themed exhibition on peppermills. I was thinking/designing a work for the show while driving a long distance the concept of a sock puppet popped into my head. I felt it would a great opportunity to work on my carving technique by trying to create a super realistic wrinkled sock so I sketched what would become Sockrates.
