Delia Dante | Women Warriors

Feathers in construction

​Warrior Helmet in construction

​Delia has been working on her Women Warrior sculptures amid the chaos of our many moves, Covid-19 and having 5-year-old Ava now in school.
​
​ The first warrior is a self portrait. In the beginning stages, she constructs the portrait using a technique of hammering, forming, and additive tig welding of flat sheet copper.
She is simultaneously copper electroplating part of her warrior headdress from an antique welding helmet, along with other sculptural elements which will be welded, enameled and cold connected. ​
