Of all the artistic creations of Oscar and Sarah Bailey, none is more delightful than their People Socks, wind-filled fabric sculpture in the form of human beings. Like so much of the Bailey’s work, the People Socks entertain and educate at the same time. Read about the Bailey’s UFOs (Umbilical Flying Objects) on pages 47-52.
