TURNER Prize winner Grayson Perry is set to exhibit his largest work to date this autumn – entitled The Walthamstow Tapestry.

A massive undertaking, the tapestry is three metres high by 15 metres long and will take up residence at the Victoria Miro gallery in Islington from October 9.

Mr Perry, based in Walthamstow and famed for his public appearances in pink frocks and ankle socks under the guise of his female alter ego Claire Perry, won the Turner Prize in 2003.

He often works with ceramics and has created vases exploring subversive themes such as death and child abuse while his latest work looks at 'the quasi-religious relationship to consumerism'.

It follows man's journey from birth to death, illustrated by encounters with leading brands along the way.

The brands' logos are taken away and run alongside images of people leading their everyday lives, including activities like waking the dog, hoovering and shopping.

The tapestry was inspired by fabrics from Malaysia and the title is a reference to William Morris, who was born in Walthamstow.

Mr Perry is known for chronicling contemporary life, using sentiment alongside fear and anger to make comments on injustice and hypocrisy in society.

The Walthamstow Tapestry is at Victoria Miro Gallery from October 9 to November 7. Admission is free and the gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 6pm.

The exhibition will also feature a number of new ceramic works and will coincide with the launch of a new book on the artist, by Jacky Klein.
