My name is Gaspar Gorodisch, im from Argentina and im based in London, UK

My work grows out of a question I’ve asked myself time and time again: what do we do with what breaks?

I’ve lived with injuries for most of my life, ongoing, recurring, shaping the way I move through the world. Rupture, for me, isn’t symbolic. It’s structural. It’s daily. And it’s the ground from which I build.

In clay, I found an empathic material that meets me there. It remembers pressure. It yields, resists, fractures. It teaches, if you know how to listen. I’m drawn to that edge where balance trembles, where collapse feels near. I don’t avoid it. I observe it.

Things break and my work is no exception. When they do, I don’t discard them. I mend them, not to restore what was, but to let the rupture speak. In finding ways to hold broken things together, I often discover something more powerful than what was whole.

I scavenge too; wood, discarded objects, forgotten scraps. I look for what’s been left behind, and give it space to stand again.

My practice isn’t about perfection. It’s about process, resilience, attention and focusing on the ridiculousness of everything.

To sublimate rupture is to stay close to it long enough to see what else it can become.
There’s beauty in what holds after breaking. Not despite the fracture, but because of it.
