For artist Delilah Montoya, transforming the past is a communal act in which revered symbols and their mystical and spiritual qualities are reborn in photographic representation. A Chicana artist, Montoya's own personal quest in image-making is the discovery and articulation of Chicano culture, and the icons which elucidate the dense history of New Mexico.
