'I Know Who I Am' Oval Badge

Designed to accompany the exhibition Grayson Perry: Delusions of Grandeur, this colourful statement badge espouses the theme and title of one of the hero pieces in the show, an appliqued bedspread entitled I know who I am, 2024. The artwork was created by Sir Grayson Perry’s fictional artist alter-ego for the exhibition, Shirley Smith, who designed the bedspread for her own domestic recreation of the Wallace Collection. The message, ‘I know who I am’, conveys Shirley’s unquestioning confidence in herself and raises one of the key themes of the show, that of self-identity.
