Mujeres de Nepantla
title Mujeres de Nepantladescription This painting was created during a residency of the Nepantla Project organized by Gloria E. Anzaldúa (1942-2004) in Saratoga, California. The central image is La Llorona, who emerges from the water and from the cipactli, the crocodile. Shells, fish, and Coyolxauhqui's body parts float in the water, and the profile of her face appears in the moon. The tattoos on the two faces of La Llorona are appropriated from the codices. The soul of the fetus that she carries rises behind her. On the left, Malinche emerges from the maguey, and on the right, the artist's grandmother, Andrea, appears with a javelina, which locates the artist in South Texas. Other symbols are the butterfly, the hummingbirds, and the double-headed horse, appropriated from José Clemente Orozco. Oil on canvas.

Teotl
title Teotldescription This drawing was created during a residency of the Nepantla Project organized by Gloria E. Anzaldúa (1942-2004) in Saratoga, California. The artist reimagines Michelangelo's representation of the Creation of Man as portrayed in the Sistine Chapel. Rather than God touching Adam to bestow life force, the artist presents a feminist and Indigenous moment of creation. The central image is La Llorona, whose face has tattoos that signify death, and thus infinity, as she emerges from the maguey. Coyolxauhqui's hand reaches down from a cloud and touches the maguey, which animates La Llorona, giving her life. Rain drops depicted as the Eye of God nourish the earth and prepare the soil for harvest. The outer band produced in acrylic paint contains symbols of South Texas, hieroglyphs, and parts of the Moon Goddess's body. Charcoal drawing and acrylic on canvas.
