STATEMENT:My work reflects a deep involvement with my native New Mexico –not as much visually as spiritually.My childhood was a melting pot of surreal attitudes surrounded by such diversities as the Spanish Penitentes, early Catholic retablos, and American Indian artifacts. All were woven among family tales and myths. My ancestors were among the first Spanish settlers of Northern New Mexico.As I grew up, I felt the tragedy and the glory of the people and the landscape. Incubating within me, these attitudes and remembrances continue to inform my work.I enjoy juxtaposing the frightening with the beautiful – the comic with the tragic –The real with the unreal.My adult self, my schooled self, my Chicago Self has embraced such western artists as Hieronymus Bosch, James Ensor, Paul Delvaux and, but certainly not least, the Mexican masters as well.-Eleanor Spiess-Ferris
