PETER PAN
By JM Barrie
Characters and concept are adapted for film by Yasmin Archer
Photographed by Aoife Moiselle
(2017)
This interpretation of Peter Pan explores a child's construction of a character.
These characters are created with a simple selection of material's and are based on the relationship between a shape and its representation through object language.
Wendy in Neverland Stage 1​
modelled by Brony Flatman
​
Wendy begins as she imagines herself in a perfect world, displaying a young girls idea of beauty, long eyelashes, and long flowing hair.
​
Her hair was adorned with string, and her dress was fashioned from a plastic bag.
​
This look displays simple beauty makeup and false eyelash application.
Wendy in Neverland Stage 2
modelled by Brony Flatman
Wendy has started to become taken over by Neverland. The materials in which she created the world start to take hold of her body and her reality.
This look displays fantasy bruising makeup, continuity progression makeup.
Peter Pan
Modelled by Tim Charles
​
Peters character has two sides, the charming mischevious boy, and the dark selfish deviant. I wanted the two sides of his face to represent this as well as the silhouette of his wig creating the shape of horns. The material moving across his face is to mirror Wendy, showing that half of him has been engulfed by the fantasy world and half remains a boy. The material is to create the question of whether he really exists, which side is the truth.
​
His top and pieces of his hair incorporates cardboard.
This look displays my ability to cut and sculpt a wig from scratch. Originally a woman's bob wig.
Princess Tiger Lily
Modelled by Holly Eve Kane
Tiger Lily's headdress is to reflect her stature like a crown, and her makeup is to be reminiscent of finger painting.
​
This look displays my ability to make and apply a latex bald cap, and design, make and apply a headdress.
This headdress is made from black silk and cable ties.
Captain Jas Hook
Modelled by Dylan Stewart
Hook represents everything you fear as a child, the greasy creature that's hiding under your bed with teeth and a mocking smile. He is to be a large ominous dark shape that would cast a shadow everywhere it went.
This look displays my ability to
-make and apply baldcap
-design, sculpt, run, and apply a silicone prosthetic.
-lay on hair,
-cast, sculpt, run, false fantasy top teeth.
The teeth and brow prosthetic were cast from another person face (John Cronin) for the short movie Wendy and applied to this model (Dylan Stewart) for the photo shoot.
Tinerbell
Modelled by Eidin Moyne
I wanted Tinkerbell to be a feral, dirty, and slightly intimidating creature. I wanted her fragile emotional state to reflect in her body and face. I also wanted her to embody the classic idea of a fairy, what a child would imagine when they think of a fairy.
This looks displays my ability to
- make and apply latex bald cap.
- design, sculpt, run and apply silicone prosthetics (nose, top lip, chin)
-design, sculpt, run and apply gelatine prosthetics (ears)
-design and make headdress fantasy wig. ( made from shower sponge)
Mermaid 1
photographed by Erica Coburn on the set of "Wendy"
Modelled by Holly Eve Kane
​
To me, the mermaids in Peter Pan represented seduction and had a cruel nature,
I wanted to portray this in a realistic but creature like way, so I began creating slime until I perfected the consistency and color. Once the slime began to dry slightly, it had a wet finish but also a slightly scaly texture on the skin, which for me portrayed the mermaid perfectly in a different and contemporary way.
This look displays creative experimentation with materials.
