# Resiliency I

A sculptural accordion book standing upright, its pages cut and layered to create a dense, interlocking landscape of waves, spirals, and boat forms in deep blue, copper, and gold. This is Ruiz's practice at its most three-dimensional - printmaking that has fully crossed into sculpture. The piece can be explored from multiple angles, each view revealing new relationships between its hand-printed layers.

Inspired by nature and the world of dreams, her imagery often centers on water and boats as metaphors for life’s journeys. Ruiz’s process embraces the experimental nature of printmaking, layering texture and pigment to create luminous, tactile surfaces.

Born in Cali, Colombia, and raised in New York, she earned her BA, MA, and MFA from the University of California, Berkeley. Her work is represented in numerous public and private collections, including the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, UC Berkeley’s Environmental Design Library, and Mills College Special Collections.
