Our most beautiful and complex art work we can make are our identities - Grayson Perry

So if you haven't been watching Grayson Perry: Who Are You? on channel 4 on Wednesdays, I don't know where you've been! You've really missed out! But don't worry - that's what 4OD is for.

I've seen Perry's work before, seen interviews and exhibitions, and grew a fondness for him as an artist and a human being. I think it's the way he puts pieces together, and how much he looks into his subject, and the way he has of making his journey through the subject to what interests him about it that inspires me most, and I think this new series really shows that well.

I enjoy the fact that he's been given the honour of presenting his works in the National Portrait Gallery, and one of the first thing he mentions or notices is what it's lacking, and so effectively what he could change with his pieces.

I know Perry has a routed interest in personalities and identities, and now what with me going back to finish my BA degree and getting to get into the subject matter of my own choice for my FMP (and heading down a psychological route), I think Perry has an even bigger influence on me.

Leamington Peace Festival

Last weekend was the yearly Leamington Peace Festival for thousands of people in Warwickshire - a free family festival with constant music, loads of stalls and plenty of food.

I went to sus-out what kinds of things sold well and what kinds of people went as a possible option for me in the future.

I found a stall with these gorgeous rings made from shells, which I absolutely loved! They're so fun and different, I've not seen anything like them before! As I do at most festivals and fairs I limited myself to one purchase, and I dug round these shell rings for a good while until I found one which was more my style with a black and white swirled top - very Tim Burton stylé.

There were some lovely pieces at the Peace Festival as there always is, although I find it's one of those places you really have to root around to find them.

Next up on my Art fairs and festivals radar is New Designers in London in just over a week which I can't wait for. It'll be lovely to see what other graduates are doing.
