Metaphoric Evolution of the Dragon
Dragons, and the idea of a dragon or dragons means different things to different people. Other than being strictly associated with fantasy, the unreal, the illogical or inconceiveable, dragons have a long history of associations with various emotional discourses, metamorphisis, and states of being that come attached with them.
I want to use the idea of dragon to move from a literal viewpoint to that of being strictly metaphor. I want to aim at portraying the implications of dragons through their type, color, body structure, movement, temperment, placement, and role within the composition in order to get at the implications of what those various elements mean (when conjugated with accompaniment elements), and how they can successfully be portrayed in a metamorphic, metaphoric translation of the concept.
