From football to frocks....Grayson Perry's Turner Prize dress

From football to frocks....Grayson Perry's Turner Prize dress
It's not all football on Rabbit's Liverpool itinerary. Here he is in the lovely Walker Gallery admiring some interesting frocks. The dresses were created by English artist Grayson Perry, who was awarded the Turner Prize in 2003 for his intricately decorated ceramics. Perry collected the Turner Prize wearing this dress which he embroidered with rabbits, some of them including the name 'Claire' - his transvestite alter ego. In his speech, Perry said 'it's about time a transvestite potter won the Turner!'.

Rabbit loved these little embroidered rabbits, and the gorgeous satin material.

A fascinating collage..............and some interesting biographical stuff in the link.

Please delete my note if you don't like it..........I don't know if you arranged it deliberately, but it almost looks like Rabbit is wearing that frock ;-)

that's really funny, Keith, I hadn't noticed that! You're right, Rabbit would look very fetching indeed!
