The vertical and horizontal lines found in the RIP CURL Series create dynamic systems that, at a certain distance, produce perceptual effects that are forever multiplying. The paintings do not stop at the physical materiality of the canvas and give an impression of 'hors-champs.'
Composed of repeated motifs interacting with one another, the dynamics of each pattern devised to achieve an all-over rhythm create a series of visual effects pulsating to engage the viewer's perception. The networks of motifs generated by the flow of materials on the canvas, and the movement induced by each of them, manifest a certain automatism of the gesture.

The large formatted paintings, which deLorme's refers to as Mineral paintings, involve using and combining different raw natural pigments. The physical experience of the work plays a role; the process of perception, optics, and color are the basis of this research. Painting being the vehicle, the solution must partly arise from the pictural process.

Light freezes the images of the Shadow Series in an instant, charging them with a timeless meaning, supernatural and immaterial. I like to think of light here as uncontrollable intelligence. Shadows result in the interplay with light as a material; shadows belong to the light.

With this series of paintings where the color and materiality of unprimed linen is omnipresent, deLorme explores, with compositions of geometry, how the materials of painting, reduced to their essences, cohere into abstract images.
Close to the pictorial gesture, the tactile expressivity of paint emerges and amplifies the physical properties of colors.

The combination of gestures, the aqueous imprint materiality, and the incident of light reflections on the surface come into play.

Working in series is an essential, if not logical, characteristic of her approach with the medium of drawing with a keen interest in systems, repetitions, and geometry using a reduction of means.
With a background as a printmaker, serial work has always defined her drawing process. Using simple materials such as graphite, ink, and markers, layered compositions of color, geometry, and pattern between voids and spaces evolve, constructing drawings where lines are tested and modified.

Drawn gestures comprise a system of grids formed by the intersection of multiple lines, graphs, and networks that weave, at times, complex spatial arrangements.
Some work has shifted towards digitally generated drawings and made them into material objects such as numeric prints.
