Tomb of the unknown Craftsman, Grayson Perry

I visted the exhibition at the Bristish Museum and i liked it. The way it had been structured, the initial idea and how it was visually brought together. The idea that it was a 'memorial to unknown craftsmen' hit a sentimental note. I've always wondered as someone who makes things, when im gone (in a few hundered years) if someone found something i made would it be worthy of such presentation, in a world thats so heavily branded.


The exhibition revived pieces that were infact from a time before branding, they were admired in a time when all you judged an item on was purely for what you saw it as. Perry used a combination of skills to some what resolve his need to imput his thoughts alongside these unknown, unalknowledged makers in a respectful manner which i really liked.
