Forbes journalist Lee Sharrock featured Heaney’s slime socks as part of 13 creative ways to bring art into your life.

“Artist Libby Heaney hit the headlines during Frieze London this autumn with an unmissable sculptural installation ‘Ent- (non-earthly delights)’ in the Frieze Sculpture park. It’s possible to wear a piece of Heaney’s art in the form of her ‘slime socks’.”

“Award winning artist Dr Libby Heaney has a PhD in Quantum Information Science and is known as the first artist to work with quantum computing as a functioning artistic medium. Libby Heaney’s 2024 sculptural installation ‘Ent- (non-earthly delights)’ was exhibited in London’s Regent’s Park during Frieze this year as part of the sculpture park, and featured an augmented reality (AR) experience which highlights the transformative potential of our forthcoming quantum future.”

“Slime is a reoccurring motif in Heaney’s work, characterizing the unstable nature of all things and the self and symbolising potentiality and transformation. Heaney’s Slime Socks are an arty alternative for festive stockings this year and there is also a Slime-themed silk scarf and baseball cap.”
