Serpent Skirt 2022-2023

 

Serpent skirt, 2022-2023
from the project “The Personification of Memory”
Textile sculpture
300 x 85 x 85 cm
 

 

Ana Quiroz in collaboration with the embroideries by Lucina Galván, Ana Isabel Rangel, Diana Rangel, Erica Ramírez, Sonia Ramírez y Guadalupe Ramírez from the rural community La Huerta in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

 

The snake skirt is an attribute of the Aztec Goddess Coatlicue, the mother, the goddess of fertility, life and death. Seven women from the community of La Huerta were asked to embroider their significant words in their lives in different pieces of fabric. These words hang in the snakes and make a long prayer of their memory, our grandmothers, mothers, sisters and daughters.
 

 

This workshop was part of the PECDA 2022 Grant from the State of Guanajuato, Mexico.
