Well I Think He's Done a Cracking Job

British ceramicist Barnaby Barford has been reassigning values to cheap, unwanted crockery or mass-produced porcelain figurines since graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2002 — slicing, painting and rearranging these objects to create new narrative frameworks, and all underpinned with a dark sense of humour that usually finds itself unlocked in the works titling. ‘Well I Think He’s Done A Cracking Job’ is of a series of works from 2008 employing mirrors and a single centred female form repainted in enamel, her head transplanted to that of a white poodle as she poses and “examines” the surreal transformation. 2006 unique; porcelain, enamel paint, bone china, mirrored glass From AN IMPORTANT NEW YORK INTERIOR DESIGNED BY FRANCIS SULTANA
