 File — Boxes: 1-3

Scope and Content

From the Collection: The Corazon Sagrado/Sacred Heart Project was undertaken by photographer Delilah Montoya in partial fulfillment of the Master of Fine Arts Degree at the University of New Mexico. The photographs illustrate the relationship between Christian and Precolumbian cults which both valued the heart as a divine symbol, as well as this symbol's role in ethno-historical experiences. Artist Mike Ippiotis supervised the painting of the backdrops against which Montoya photographed her subjects.

Box 4 contains Delilah Montoya's M.F.A. thesis project. The book is housed within the inside cover of portfolio and is held in place with a leather belt. It includes bibliographical references. This portfolio was an addition accessioned in 2001 and was originally numbered 2001-027.
