The reader is provided with a window into the complicated and diverse inspiration behind Perry’s work, influences as diverse as African Power figures, mediaeval altarpieces, and traditional American quilts. But whether drawing on ancient ritual and religion or the mores of contemporary life, Perry’s often controversial commentary on modern society is both sharp and sound.
