What we see is Peter soaring up into the London night sky in front of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben in his bid to be ‘Forever Young’ and leave the darkness behind him. If you look closely you can see that the dark forces that trouble and restrict him exist within the piece. The hope with this piece is that the concept behind it can appeal to many as it represents that want and need that we have to go back to the moment when things were so much easier and to soar over untroubled waters.

This piece was created to complement two others, the Mary Poppins inspired ‘It’s Not Goodbye’ and ‘Hope’ - a Little Mermaid interpretation that was released in the U.S in 2016. The aim with this style of work is to create an image that is bold and iconic and instantly obvious as to who the character is in the picture. The detail and colours used create an intense and positive quality to the silhouette and transforms the typical cold and sterile forms that you see online. I wanted to illustrate the character embarking on a journey, in a positive manner and to relate to the story whilst with the intention of leaving enough open for the viewer to decide where and why they are going.

“Now I wanna dance, I wanna win. I want that trophy, so dance good…”
I have chosen to depict part of the renowned routine that played out at the JackRabbit Slim’s dance contest with Mia Wallace and Vincent Vega. You see a lot of silhouettes of this routine online but never with any emotion, drama or movement so I have set about with the intention of doing just that with this.
I have taken the elements that exist within ‘BALBOA’ and ‘Moonwalker’ to create a follow on piece that complements and contrasts. The background from the film at this point is one of blues and blacks with neon flashes, I have chosen to build the characters around a rich red and black backdrop to instead be a nod to the darkness and bloodshed from Tarantinos masterpiece.
The neon elements are depicted in abstract form with the coloured markings that interact with the characters, a cool addition without being a distraction. These tones are further reflected within areas of the two figures that are a further abstract method of bringing colour into what was a monotone outfit for both Mia and Vega.
Complex smoke is used to make up the bodies and is the base for intense detail that portray movement, light and drama. Abstract markings are used to break up and link parts of the composition whilst parts highlight point of interest, for example the white vertical lines depict the light that catches Vegas cuffs whilst on a darker note also subtly reference cocaine that lines Mias nose.
The tiny icons that hover around the characters are a mix of beauty and blackness, these interact with both and symbolise the inner good and the contrasting dark circles that both operate within. Ultimately I wanted to do something a little different to the norm whilst continuing to build on this style of my work and most importantly do justice to a genuine masterpiece of film.

This piece entitled ‘It’s Not Goodbye’ shows the classic and iconic silhouette of Mary that has been adapted to have a slightly more uplifting perspective. Literally hundreds of tiny butterflies lift her up and take her away (butterflies link to the original film).
The top of the umbrella points towards the very top of the dome of St Pauls Cathedral where the light detail then continues up into the sky and lights up the cloud, there is something really beautiful about that.
You see so many takes on the classic Mary silhouette and I wanted to take this to a completely different level. Choosing butterflies was done with the thinking that they represent transition and change and fitted perfectly with the fact that Mary comes in on the wind to transform lives for the better before leaving when her work is done.
The iconic dome of St Pauls is dominated with red and blue to represent the classic British film whilst the parts of white complete the trio of colours from the Union Jack flag.
I chose the title ‘It’s Not Goodbye’ to represent her bond with the Banks family and undoubtedly with Bert, the narrative within the classic story hints that Mary and Bert have met before and without a doubt shows that there is chemistry between the two whilst the transformation that she has made on the Banks family makes you think that she couldn’t possibly just up and leave as soon as the wind changes.
So the title really is very important and taking what I hope is a beautiful image and giving it something even more beautiful for people to visualise.
