The Sockalypse began in 2012 in anticipation of the end of the Mayan calendar. Brought to life by the power of static electricity and stitchcraft, a vicious band of sock squirrels attacked their complacent counterparts, a calm and kind-hearted rabbit colony. The gruesome massacre destroyed the rabbits as well as the oak tree, their beloved habitat. The voodoo and biological warfare involved resulted in the creation of the Frankentree, leading to the zombunnies\' uprising and revenge on the entire sock drawer.

Years later, a band was formed to memorialize these tragic events. The bunny duo debuted at the Shrewdness of Apes. Unfortunately, the pair was mismatched and broke up due to artistic differences. However woeful this tale may seem, if we have learned anything from the zombunnies, it is that good things never die. The end of times never came, and the Sockalypse tribute band evolved and resurrected the sounds of mayhem and destruction.

Kira Geer was born in Utah. She started scribbling her way through art classes when she was three years old and never stopped. She graduated from the University of Cincinnati (DAAP Program) where her chaotic line work became known as Kiraesque. This aggressive artmaking approach is still evident in her 3D work in the intentionally messy stitching of these repurposed sock sculptures. She loves all artistic media, the more unconventional the better, but her favorite is molding the young artists at Mount Auburn International Academy where she teaches grades K-9.
