Wednesday 5th November 2014 - Tutorial with Sophie (Ideas)

Stuck... with ideas for project. Crochet is a traditional craft form. It has a history.
They can be works of art, not design.
Could there be an underlying idea behind my thoughts and ideas?
Physical idea. Increases over time. Could it be a domestic scale?
Could be a time-based piece, that is continuously growing?
Need the freedom to experiment.
Elements of work are just as important as the technique.
Maybe use different materials? Fabric, rubber bands... etc. Collecting different materials.
Grayson Perry - Works are pretty from a distance. Whilst, close up the narrative is different. It has contradictions.
What do you want to voice? Autobiographically, provocative, political, propaganda, peculiar.
Allowed to change. Logical development. State that it has this. Maybe focus on one question, rather than too many... I am free to make your own rules. Nothing can be right or wrong.
Viewpoint/angle - I have sort of created an impossible task for myself trying to create five pages of questions out of crochet. Maybe, consider unfinished pieces to present and create.
Ridiculously impossible task... show this within the work. This concept has a nice idea, that it's hard to do.
Divert and diversify, start a new idea and edit it.
Making my thoughts and ideas easier would help me and my work to keep flowing.
Developing and trying new things.
Drastically change.
Exploring areas of practice.
Learn from my mistakes. Take risks and try things out. Don't get too stuck and just move on.
