Isabel, Ruben has expressed how you inspired his work. How has he inspired yours?
I: "His patterns are a work of art. He puts down lines and then I think about what they are going to do on a body. So, first I really look at the shapes he’s putting down. We’re always walking into each other's world and taking from it. I don’t know what he’s taking from mine, and he doesn’t know what I'm taking from his."
"It’s that freedom to just to be inspred by that other person, react emotionally, and just apply it right away — we never outgrew that. It's so amazing to be in the same space with someone and constantly be feeding off of each other — to have a constant conversation even without words, but through our work. I feel very lucky."
