Tailing the Wyrm
There are many levels to this piece, a real cross section of symbolism and metaphor. Four draconic forms separated by boundaries of tarnished scales are poised around a golden human face.

This piece could also be called "Alchemy", a mystical blending of elements into a sovereign compound. The gold of the alchemist's lore was not the gold of wealth and riches, but the purest alloy of the human spirit. Through their craft, alchemists identified the "verbs" of human existence: distillation, sublimation, separation, fermentation... a complete spectrum of human experience rendered down to a chemical metaphor.

Purity isn't enough. We are vessels containing an infinitely diverse range of elements. It is in the harmony and balance of our entire composition - not just the easy parts - that we achieve a "golden" experience.
