The sculptures of听Professor DeLamater marry the equilibrium between physical and spiritual being. Her works have been done from live models, have gathered together the internal force and density of her subjects. These subjects come from imagination stemming from the artist鈥檚 profound attachment to her roots. She gives rhythm and volume in a strong architecture of shade and light. The bronze and its patina intensify these rythms.
