In a series of short conversations I ask an artist two questions about their work and process.

ADA PILAR CRUZ

MH: Your work with clay, seaweed, and found objects has a powerful presence that is at once familiar and alien, as if the raw, nature-based materials are imparting their wisdom in a primeval language. How do you regard your work?

APC: Since childhood, impulsively and obsessively, I must always be making something, indeed I am disquieted if I am not; in the same way, I am compelled to gather and collect materials. In doing this work, it is as if the environment or situation dictates the direction that my work takes. I have realized that whatever I make always mirrors something in my life which allows me to examine it more closely. I began to understand this when I learned to work with clay — I realized that with my hands I had revealed a likeness, an emotion — a moment from something in my experience that became summarized in a form. Then I gathered seaweed — it is so powerful. It is the sea, which I am terribly afraid of but desperately want to get to know.

MH: It sounds like your creative process is self-reflective in many ways, allowing you not only to overcome your fears but to examine the forms with a critical eye. How do the materials reflect your internal process, and at what point do the forms become universal?

APC: I collect things — things with the markings of time/change — the result of usage, age or decay. Discarded objects, rusted or oxidized metal, crushed asphalt, or, like kelp, things that have been tossed ashore by the waves. These things hold some kind of history that can open the imagination and I am often awed by how beautiful I find them. So, I use these found things in my clay sculptures, paper, or printed works, to embed them or hold them in sculpture or an image. Like props, they lend an additional meaning to the work by giving it a kind of connection from which we can create or remember stories, which ultimately is why I make work.
