About the Item
Edition 1/1
Signed, titled, dated and numbered in pencil on print margin by Delilah Montoya
Collotype print, 10 x 8 in.
Delilah Montoya was born in Texas to a Latina mother and an Anglo father. Her mother raised her in Nebraska until she relocated to New Mexico to attend college. She studied at the University of New Mexico where she earned her BA, MA, and MFA in Photography. While continuing to practice as a studio artist, she remained in academia where she has taught at the University of New Mexico, California State University, and the Institute of American Indian Arts. Montoya currently was a professor of Photography at the University of Houston in Texas.
New Mexico held ancestral roots that nourished her exploration of her Chicana identity. Montoya’s photography conceptually delves into the experience of the Southwest people that is the mix of Native American, Aztec Mexican, and Spanish lineage. These cultures offer rich historical traditions and folklore imagery based in spiritual and religious practices. Montoya visually explores this iconography to discuss and confront outsider assumptions on stereotypes and the “documentary gaze” towards the Mesoamerican community.
She uses traditional photographic techniques, mixed media, composites, printmaking and sculptural aspects to her work. New and mixed mediums allow her to continue to push boundaries and make conceptually challenging work. Her installations are narratives that involve not only the participation of the viewers cultural, historical, and spiritual knowledge but also their senses.
Montoya’s photographic work is celebrated within the Latino community as well as internationally. She has shown extensively in solo and group exhibitions throughout the world. Her work can be found in private and public collections as the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, New Mexico Museum of Art, Mexican Museum, The Bronx Museum of the Arts, and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston.

Delilah Montoya
Although she was born in Texas and lived in Nebraska into her twenties, photographer and printmaker Delilah Montoya has deep roots in northern New Mexico through her mother's family. Raised by her mother, Montoya observes that women have empowered her family for five generations. Montoya studied photography and printmaking at the University of New Mexico, where she received her bachelor's degree, master's degree, and master of fine arts. She works in a variety of two-dimensional photographic and printing processes as well as creating larger installations. The artist describes her approach as postmodernist and uses documentary strategies to interpret her own distinct vision. Politically, Montoya is committed to exploring issues of identity in terms of a Chicano cultural context:"In my own evolving ideology I question my identity as a Chicana in occupied America, and articulate the experience of the minority woman. I work to understand the depth of my spiritual, political, emotional and cultural icons, realizing that in exploring the topography of my conceptual homeland, Aztlan, I am searching for the configuration of my own vision. " (Montoya n.d.) Montoya is committed to the expression of Chicana experience and history, but she does not consider herself as a feminist. Indeed, Montoya rejects identification as a United States-style feminist because she believes that "Feminists don't give us solidarity. As a Chicana my issues are multifaceted, not just gender, but class, race. " The border, for Montoya, is a politically imposed construct, a part of a United States colonialist enterprise that was forced upon the Chicano community. It is the environment in which Chicano life and history unfolds. Montoya's work explores contemporary and historical issues, sometimes win a humorous twist. Her artist's book for the 1992 Chicano Codices exhibition organized by the Mexican Museum in San Francisco, Codex Delilah: a Journey From Mechica to Chicana (including text by poet Cecilio Garcia-Camarillo), traces the imaginary journey of Six Deer, a character who embodies the contact between indigenous and Spanish culture in her trip "pal norte" towards Aztlan, the "spiritual homeland of her ancestors." As she journeys to the north, the character also journeys forward in time, meeting important Chicanas from the past, including La Llorona, La Conquistador, and activist Velia Silva. This effort to reimagine a forgotten and ignored history integrates several elements to affirm the importance of both historical and contemporary mestizaje to Chicana survival. Another project, "El Sagrado Corazon/The Sacred Heart," involved the Albuquerque Chicano community in an exploration of the syncretism, or mixing, of Catholicism and Aztec philosophy. These collotype portraits depict members of the community as well as cultural personages, such as "La Genizara" (a Hispanicized Native American) and "La Loca y Sweetie," barrio "home girls."
