The exploration of texture rather than image dominates Delia’s work. A fractured piece of rock, rotting wood, mud flats as the tide sucks the water out, rusty metal and flaking tree bark all feed into her work. Intermingled with texture is the awareness of an image fleetingly seen, migrants trekking across the land, a face reflected in a lens, a smile half hidden by the light.

The printmaking process is fascinating and endlessly engaging. The mulitiplicity of choices involved at each stage of the printmaking process can be daunting although, like many printmakers Delia feels the process itself is as important and satisfying as the final print.
