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.
