The socks are off! For the summer!

I’m a minimalist when it comes to clothing. That’s not the same as naturist, I should say. Although a bit of skinny dipping never did anyone any harm.

Personally I feel more comfortable, more relaxed, the less stuff I’m wearing or carrying or using. It’s hard to avoid “stuff” in our consumer driven, materialistic age. But it can be done. One sock at a time!

When we’re making art, we often have to make the most significant decisions about what we should leave out. What are the words, the notes, the clay, the paint we can forsake. Because sometimes, perhaps often, we overdo it.

So what’s the least amount of clothing our creations can wear?

It’s an important question.
