This is RAMM’s first exhibition of the work of Grayson Perry, one of Britain’s best-known contemporary artists. From textiles and pots to etchings and woodcuts, Grayson Perry: Aspects of Myself explores a sense of self through a range of media and storytelling techniques.

As an astute observer and chronicler of life in Britain, Perry tackles subjects that are universally human: identity, gender, social status, sexuality, religion and politics. He uses his own experiences to reflect wider narratives about our place in society. Perry says, “I investigate our slippery sense of who we feel we are… the ongoing process of ‘being ourselves.” 

Works such as ‘A Map of Days’ explore how the interests, habits and psychological traits that make up a sense of ‘self’ can be mapped onto towns, reflecting an emotional geography of contemporary society. Other works such as the ceramics, ‘Aspects of Myself’ and ‘Mad Kid’s Bedroom Wall’ show how Perry incorporates autobiographical elements that reflect his own childhood experiences.
