A long time friend of the gallery, Allyson continues to astound us with her art. Moving on from her roots as a sculptor reknowned for her work in the Disney Parks and The flagship Warner Stores, she has turned her formidable talents to fine art interpretive renditions of her favourite characters. Mixing traditional and modern techniques and styles her work is both absorbing and stunning. Captain James Hook is the villain of J. M. Barrie's play and novel Peter Pan. Hook is a pirate captain and Peter Pan's nemesis. It is said that he was Blackbeard's bosun, and that he was the only man the Sea-Cook ever feared. He wears an iron hook in place of his right hand, which was cut off by Peter Pan and eaten by a crocodile; the crocodile liked the taste of him so much that it follows him around constantly, hoping for more. Hook hates Peter obsessively, and lives for the day he can make Peter and all his Lost Boys walk the plank.The symbolism of Peter Pan's fight with Captain Hook (traditionally played by the same actor as Wendy's father), combined with Hook's fear of time in the form of the ticking crocodile, possibly hints at Freudian subtext. | ||
