Salcey iron - edits

I wanted to bring in the use of different objects this time (rather than testing with balloons). Household objects that seem mundane but outside its usual habitat. It follows suit of the images I had taken with the vacuum earlier in the project, to follow juxtaposition. I had aimed to capture passers by within frame but few people were around the area on this day. 

On their own the images are somewhat interest, the setting continues to act as a plinth/stage. The below images appears better balanced and I believe it is the set-up of the object that assists in its mysteriousness. Set to its side, folded and leaning against the wall of the walkway, it is hard to translate the image to much sense. Perhaps to those who do not know what it is, it may take a closer glance to find out. 

I had attempted with other objects but they simply did not work as I had wanted, they looked too forced, too set-up. I try to keep some ominous behaviour in my images, so this is why it didn't correlate well with the rest of the project. 

I had wished to place the ironing-board in stranger situations, hanging in tree branches higher above the ground. But there was the danger of it falling back onto ourselves or not balancing at all. I had the idea of perhaps photoshopping the images but I ideally want to avoid fake images for the sake of the authenticity of the project.

I had one attempt that was less dangerous. In my opinion it works well, it is strange, perhaps amusing. Not only a bizarre setting for the object but strange placement too. I had showed this image to peers however and it had much less impact to them in comparison to the rest of the project so far. They understood the image but still much preferred my other work. So, listening to the audience I shall end this idea and carry forward with my other ideas.
