Cruces describes her work in this way: “The art of collecting is an intrinsic part of my practice and work. I actively seek out objects that were once loved and displayed within the home but now reside within junk stores and resale shops. These objects are now empty vessels devoid of the familial memories they once held. I use recognizable objects associated with collecting and china cabinets to engage with the viewer’s sense of home and memory. I collect, cast, re-create and alter existing porcelain objects into sculptural forms to expose the underlying issues of class, identity, memory, and the meaning of the objects in our lives.”
