"Si anteriormente Caty Cucalón se centraba en la inherente capacidad de símbolo del objeto común, ahora su atención estética se desplaza hacia el objeto mismo, o, más precisamente hacia el material que lo constituye y lo conforma. Esos materiales, porosos, oxidados o brillantes comparten un elemento metálico común: La lata.
Y es que sus obras recientes toman como punto de partida láminas de metal utilizadas y desechadas por la sociedad. Para ella la elección misma del material constituye ya un acto creativo nada desdeñable".
