" EMOTIONAL DEMONS "

The relevance to the above panel appears more significant now especially if envisioning two sets of emotions: those of a person being angry together with those opposing ones but if a “Demon” is involved, more QUESTIONS ... if emotional demons are used & Anger is one, what is the opposing one? … & what would they both look like? Thoughts of imaginary dragons & ‘Night Demons’ are envisaged but none really feel as suitable for this new panel & in contemplating "where to go next", the mental link of ‘Dragons & Demons’ quickly has “old tattoos” misting into sight alongside appropriate wording.

Continuing now with on-line “tattooing research”, a few thought-provoking emotional words are sketched & whilst reading various anger issues at the same time, come across several people with tattoos. Although I don’t suggest in any way this specific creative practice directly links to anger, it could provide some sort of "implied mark" for it & then discover some “forms of tattooing marks” are indirectly connected to anger - for example those as used for slavery - bondage - prisoners & even for body mutilation. SO … QUESTION … can these latter ones be included to be symbolic? Further research concluded they would be an important aspect … and then I realised the significance of the bandages I made at the beginning & glad several lengths had been made … BUT QUESTION … how & where to use them?
