Material has its own grain. So does software. Most tools refuse to bend; they make the artist conform to a workflow that was decided before the work existed. The result is craft that looks like the tool more than it looks like the maker.
We treat the work as plastic.
Every step is reversible, recombinable, removable. Settings are not commitments; defaults are not destinies. You can take a path you don’t end up keeping and the path itself is a fine thing — not waste.
The work is plastic. So is the artist.
