The Magical Child & The Chimera Dragon Quilted batik, embroidery, and luminous acrylics - 48"36" $2000 Once upon a time, a human Child, a very Magical Child, was born into the world. She was born not into a family of people, but into a family of dragons. Although the dragons loved her, she did not feel safe, them being dragons and all. She had a foolish fantasy, a chimera, that she could be safe if only she could make them believe she was also a dragon. Because she was very magical, her dream manifested into reality, and a dragon emerged from her dreams to protect her. The Chimera Dragon lived on with the dragon family and gained the knowledge of the material world, using it to become the equal of the other dragons. The dragon wrapped herself around the Magical Child and lulled her to sleep with the promise that the Child was forever safe. The Child fell into a deep sleep, and the Chimera Dragon fed upon her dreams and grew ever more tenacious. If the Child ever stirred, the Dragon reminded her of all the dangers in the world, and she should trust the Dragon. Years went by and the Chimera Dragon took on the life of the Magical Child. The Magical Child slept on and never matured, remaining a child forever; and the Chimera Dragon grew ever bigger and stronger, but was never magical. Ω
