The Artist Decorated the House with Knitting.

The Artist Decorated the House with Knitting.

The artist and master Olek has long been known to the world. At first she decorated an alligator on the playground, then a whole locomotive, and now Olek covered the two-story house with a pink crocheted blanket. The new installation is currently in Kerava, Finland, where Ms. Olek has worked with a team of assistants to sew huge crocheted panels that cover every inch of this 100-year-old house. The work was not easy and very painstaking. But the result – stunned everyone.

The master said that this building, built in the early 1900s, was the home of Karl Jacob Svensky (1883-1968). During the 1939-1940 war, the family fled to avoid bombing. The pink house has become a kind of symbol of a bright future, full of hopes for a better life.
