Overcast sky; child model; child doing something weird with forces? (can't find the context behind this); large/long area, skeletal structure, perhaps abandoned?; there's a bike; very small color palette... Frances Kearney's Five People Thinking The Same Thing first caught my eye, and I enjoyed his mysterious tableau images that were also featured on his website. They're interestingly telling, encouraging you to try to figure out what the child is doing, and why. Why are they playing in these spaces?
My appropriation is more a visual appropriation than conceptual. The skeletal structure reminds me so much of the Civil War Union prison on Belle Isle, so I'll have to trek over there again. The color palette should remain fairly simple, and I HAVE TO shoot on an overcast day. A flash may have to be used since the overcast day might not provide enough light under the structure. The model, like Kearney's model, will also do this odd moving-forces pose (the resulting image looked less like a messing-with-forces and more awkwardly-dancing pose). About the bike... boxes seem just as suggestive of a child playing as a bike could. The bike suggests the area was happened upon, the box seems more like the beginnings of a structure in this abandoned area.
