Abstract
My work explores the complexities of identity, culture, indigeneity, and place utilizing Pre-Columbian Myth and my own personal mythmaking. My intentions in seeking the lost layers of culture in my ancestry come from a position of respect and admiration. Research on my family history and Coatlicue, an Aztec goddess, has moved my work towards the discussion of the mythic Chicano journey to paradise. Coatlicue is a shadow to the Virgin of Guadalupe, a symbol of Mexican identity and therefor represents the theme of resilience and survival in the best way possible.
