“Call Me Claire” was born a few months after I’d taken to working in my University’s ceramics studio. I’d been hoping to learn how to sculpt a head and had just purchased tickets to see Grayson Perry, so he was on my mind and quickly became my inspiration! While sculpting Claire, I remembered seeing the poster for the RA Summer Exhibition, featuring no other than Grayson Perry himself as head coordinator. Suddenly it all clicked! I needed to make “Call Me Claire” and so, here she is, in all her glory.
