After beginning our project we were given a "set text task" within our studio work we were asked to analyses and discuss the work of the artist Grayson Perry in his latest show "tomb of the unknown craftsman" I found him to be a great source of inspiration as he was pretty much doing the same as us, be remixing and redisplaying already existing items in a new way focusing on they idea of pilgrimage and the idea of the museum and a holy place of pilgrimage to devoted art and history lovers across the globe, one of the things that I enjoyed most about researching Grayson Perry was his view of the museum itself as a place of importance not just though education but also of inspiration and his powerful representation to all of the anonymous craftsmen represented in his “arc” is a message to not forget all those talented people in history.
