Title
Coyolxauhqui como Sirena
Creator
Description
From the Codex Series, this painting is a feminist reimagining of Coyolxauhqui as a mermaid in South Texas. She wears Coatlcue's talisman of hearts and hands around her neck and a coral snake as a headdress. Much of the imagery is appropriated from the codices, including hieroglyphs and iconography. The green jay on Coyolxauhqui's shoulder locates the artist's presence in South Texas. Acrylic on canvas. Dimensions: 35 ½" x 35 ½"
