Quetzalcoatl Plumed Serpent 3

Limited edition of 5

((This is the last piece available, the other 4 have sold out :))

Date Created: 2017

Materials and Processes:

This is an ever-growing collection which we began in 2015 based on research of the Aztec plumed serpent god Quetzalcoatl. Extraordinary myths and novels have been written about this masculine god, he is forever idolized on archeological sites and murals, codexes and oral histories, an archetypal Mexican symbol of virility and strength, sexuality, power and resurrection. We took these traditional imageries and ideas of the revered Quezalcoatl and turned it on it’s head, stretching the myth into our current day and age, turning him into a goddess. The collection mixes pop culture imagery with ancient myths, toying with how they imprint on our memories, recasting ancient and outdated masculine archetypes with playfulness.

These works are hand woven in Teotitlan del Valle, Oaxaca by a women’s cooperative and designed by Mexchic. Each serpent 3 rug took three months to weave. This item is ready to ship.
