Map of Truth and Beliefs
2011
"Map of Truth and Beliefs" is a richly detailed wool and cotton tapestry by the celebrated British artist Grayson Perry, rendered in his characteristically vibrant and irreverent style. The work draws on the visual language of historical cartography, weaving together a complex landscape populated with symbols, text, and imagery that chart the contradictions and convictions of contemporary belief systems. Perry uses the traditional craft of tapestry to subvert expectations, transforming a domestic and decorative medium into a sharp commentary on ideology, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves.
