Through her textured three-dimensional collages and wooden assemblages, Gramcko successfully overcame the inherent flatness of surfaces. The last works produced by Gramcko, who stopped making art in 1979 due to health issues, consist of assemblages made on wood that emphasize the handmade over the industrial mode of production with titles that suggest a skeptical intent. The artist collected found wood on beaches, to which she collaged elements of industrial debris.

In his 1982 text on Gramcko, Carlos Sánchez highlighted the work “Motivación interior alrededor de un objeto (Inner Motivation Around an Object)”, 1977. He stated: “[T]he artist doesn’t settle for the mere presence of detritus in its natural state, rather she adds a number, text or simply paints something entirely gestural in the composition; for example, an ancient faucet where only a large painted drop on the surface comes out and is contained without freely running.”
