About the book >.>.> Combining his own works with objects from across the British Museum’s collection Grayson Perry takes the reader on a pilgrimage to his imaginary world. Along the way he explores a range of themes connected with notions of craftsmanship and sacred journeys – from shamanism magic and holy relics to motorbikes identity and contemporary culture. Here is a reality that is old and new poetic and factual and funny as well as grim. At the end of the pilgrim trail lies a richly decorated cast-iron ship a memorial to all the anonymous individuals that over the centuries have fashioned the handmade wonders of the world. (MP)
