Grayson Perry ? very much his own man. Grayson Perry?s work unsettles the contemporary art world. It is not simply because he chose to accept
the Turner Prize 2003 in the persona of his alter-ego ?Claire?, dressed
in the latest of his art ?coming out?frocks in mauve satin, exquisitely
embroidered with rabbits, roses, hearts, and the words ?sissy? and ?Claire?, and teamed with white ankle-socks and red patent-leather Mary-Jane shoes. Although, as Perry himself is quick to point out, the ?tranny? (which is how he refers to himself) does have a remarkable capacity to provoke anxiety. That, he explains, is some combination of disappointment and unease at the fragility of the illusion.
