This blog has at its core a fence festooned with socks in Albany, West Australia, a town without a 5-star hotel because a property developer razed one and left an empty site surrounded by an empty fence.
The local community has taken the fence as its own and "socked it to them".
Sock It! is not just about socks on a fence.
It is about public protest.
It is about public art.
About about a community taking control of something over which it has no control.
About a collective sense of fun.
About whatever it means to you as you hang your sock.
About changing perceptions of what remains following an act of greed and stupidity.
