Artist Statement
Castañas (chestnuts) is a sculpture made of a series of cups.
The individual pieces can be rearranged to create different shapes, and can also be used as drinking cups for a coffee or mezcal.
The towers are a celebration of a natural material, a clay local to Oaxaca, which is finished in two different ways to create contrasting colours.
