I tend to swing both ways, Ianfe. (Did I actually type that?)

Rarely is my final product extremely rigid and geometrical. Usually I concern myself more with texture than with form. Even my most geometrical work tends to have softening textures and colors added to it to break up the lines.

There are exceptions, of course. Occasionally I'll begin with a particular shape in my mind that must make it into the final product before I'll consider it "done," and those pieces can be quite geometrical because it is the shape itself I want to highlight. But even those are softened somewhat by my choice of texture.

About half of my stuff has some degree of symmetry and maybe ten percent features straight lines to any degree. That probably depends on whether I'm feeling particularly "anal" when I start. :)
