Castañeda's approach is intuitive and rooted in traditional woodturning, yet attuned to something specific: the felt sense that trees carry ecological histories we cannot fully translate, only witness.
What distinguishes her work, beyond its clarity of form, is its elemental surface. Using hand-mixed mineral solutions and earth-based compounds, she coaxes reactions that reveal the hidden chemistry of wood.
