Some of the questions I've been asking are:
- Do I need a concept or context behind my systems?
- How valid is my system?
- How should I select yarns? Is this important at this early stage?
- How should I select colours?
- What are the reasons behind my choices? Are they aesthetic, personal, based on emotions of colour?
- Do I want to map a journey? Would that give context to my grid system?
For now, I think sampling is the only way to move forward. Sampling in non-specific materials and colours will lead to decisions in the near future about how far to take my system based approach.
Another point I found was that all of my early samples, despite being systems based, looked too much like the coral reef projects. Despite their very aesthetic value, the connotations of the shapes to anyone with a small crochet knowledge renders them somewhat disruptive. Solved this by working in a deeper system.
