Overview

A tragic story is played out by porcelain figurines residing in a bric-a-brac shop. Barnaby Barford's animation explores notions of forbidden love, material wealth and class divisions using traditions of value within ceramics, while also turning the classic β€˜rags to riches’ plot on its head with an unexpected twist.
