Grayson Perry interview Part 1

Grayson Perry was the first ceramic artist and also the first transvestite to win the Turner Prize in 2003. His pots are a classical form decorated with rich textures, color and image transfer. The aesthetically beautiful surface is at odds with the ideas in his art, such as issues of child abuse, social and sexual practices. We were discussing "living your art" in class and similar to Morimura, Perry's pots are sometimes autobiographical as he addresses sexuality both in the work and also literally dresses the part.
