Damaged Goods


Barnaby Barford is a British artist who uses restuck porcelain figures in a subversive new way. The New York Times call him a "ceramics prankster". In his current exhibition Barford has created short films. This one an imagined love story amongst the junk shop shelves. Even a Royal Doulton Balloon Seller gets in on the act.
