Hosery is Gulliver's lost sock. We, who come across this out sized foundling become the art. We are the Lilliputians in the landscape apprehensively asking; 'Where is Gulliver?'

Hosery is a sculpture that offers a whimsical interpretation of the gigantic and the miniature. In her book 'On Longing' (1993) Susan Stewart speaks of 'miniaturisation as an act of domestication', while 'the gigantic transforms the body into the miniature, especially pointing to the body's 'toy like' and 'insignificant aspects'. With this in mind when confronted with this 'out sized foundling' we small humans are faced with our own 'domestication, transcendence, containment, control and domination' by a giant; an authority that can change landscapes at a whim and who has lost one of his socks!

Susan Stewart quotes from 'These days of Large Things; the culture of size in America' Michael Tavel Clarke, pg 591.
