Grayson Perry — Map of Days
Grayson Perry

Map of Days

"Map of Days" by Grayson Perry is a richly detailed etching produced from four separate plates, printed together on a single sheet of wove paper with full margins intact. True to Perry's signature style, the work weaves together autobiographical narrative, cultural commentary, and intricate symbolism into a dense, visually complex composition that recalls both medieval cartography and contemporary folk art. The technical complexity of the four-plate printing process lends the work a remarkable depth of tone and texture, showcasing Perry's masterful command of the etching medium.
