PAISIOS x SALTY BSTRDS
The Bastard Alliance
Christos cracked.
Not by accident but from stillness, from routine, from the weight of doing nothing.
That crack didn’t break him. It opened him.
Through it poured earth, salt, fire.
And from it, he shaped vessels. Not perfect, but purposeful.
Every ceramic he makes is a rebellion against the smooth and the safe — raw forms stitched with meaning, textured with nature’s wild fingerprints.
To seal the cracks, he didn’t hide them. He filled them with art.
And because art attracts the raw, he found Paisios — a silversmith who forges defiance into metal. Together, they crafted objects that aren’t just made. They’re felt.
This is not a collaboration.
This is a bastard alliance — between two artists who don’t create by the rules.
They create because they can’t do otherwise.
The Severed Watch
A lone fragment of a once-standing sentinel — cracked, torn apart, and yet still holding itself upright. This sculptural candleholder carries the stillness of a forgotten outpost, with textures like cooled magma and skeletal iron rods keeping its halves barely connected. It's not whole, and that’s its strength — it stands precisely because it broke.
- High-temperature clay and 925 sterling silver.
Selected for their strength, contrast, and timeless raw beauty.
Crafted in ritual, kept in salt. Only one of each exists.
