Last month I went to see an exhibition of Grayson Perry's work at the Wallace Collection in London. Perry is a British artist best known for his ceramics and tapestries. He is also a cross dresser with an alto ego called Clare. For this exhibition, Delusions of Grandeur, he had created another alter ego, Shirley Smith. The fictional Smith considers herself the heir to the Wallace Collection. The exhibition is curated by Perry around Shirley's life and artistic obsessions, including family trees and the Wallace Collection itself. I have included Perry's explanations and insights into his work.
