#CLSTR
CLSTR moves away from perfection. Each GSTR is a hand-made gesture — traces visible, edges unresolved, outcomes accepted. 10,000 fragments. Built over five years. Distributed across many spaces, not one. You don't own the whole. You own a part.
The Project
CLSTR is a ceramic artwork composed of unique sculptural elements. Each unit (GSTR) is numbered and contributes to a system that can grow over time, ranging from intimate groupings (patches) to large-scale installations (fields).
Each element is hand-built in stoneware, glazed, fired to 1240ºC, and documented. CLSTR exists as a dispersed network of GSTRs across private interiors and architectural spaces.
The Modular System
CLSTR is a decentralised artwork. Each GSTR exists physically on a collector’s wall, within private interiors, or as part of larger architectural projects. The complete work can never exist in one single location.
Physically
Dispersed across interiors and projects
Digitally
A complete and growing archive
Follow the work as it expands, batch by batch, until the archive closes.
Patches & Fields
A small group of GSTRs installed together is called a Patch. Patches function as intimate clusters within private interiors.
When the installation expands to architectural scale — hundreds or thousands of elements — it is referred to as a Field.
Not different objects, but different densities of the same work.
Certification
Each GSTR is signed, numbered, and recorded in the archive. Numbering is continuous up to 10,000.
The packaging functions as a certificate. Do not throw it away.
It contains the GSTR number and recorded weight. If packaging is lost, a replacement certificate can be issued.
