Esme Valk Knitted Telle

Esmé Valk has knitted images from late night TV shows onto a a range of knitted TVs! I was thinking how cosy and sweet they seemed when i found out there’s actually quite a dark story behind it…. She explains,

“I made this triptych after reading a short item in the newspaper. It described a letter-box filled with unread letters and junk mail. None of the neighbours knew the man who lived in that flat, he hardly came outside and always had his blinds closed. When the authorities broke in they found the man’s decomposed body in a chair. Open on his lap a TV guide showed that he had died over a year ago.”
