Also

Also can i want Grayson Perry's fringe / to be as fabulous as him in general / just to be him. Fullstop.


His work looks incredibly fun to make, and he becomes work in himself through his alter ego Claire.
I think it should be this way, as both a person and artist, being visibly creative, a creation in myself, artistic nature should never stop.
Somehow in what seems to be few materials Grayson generates work that is seemingly multimedia, multigenre. The pieces are pottery, sculpture, painting, illustration, graphics, everything, and that excites me, the fact that nothing is pigeon holed, or restricted gives me a desire to feel like that with my own materials. These works are led by their narratives but the materials are at one with the artist. You can see how pieces have become, from initial ideas, and drawings, and rather than seeking perfection through any kind of minimalism, they feed off the notion of idea, plans, brainstorming brought together through collage. Because memory is cluttered, and this is what Grayson's work is about, stories, emotion and memory, non of which are clean cut, but unraveling as they all go on.
