Messy and Ugly, Good Place to Start
-
It's a good way to first build it ugly. The power of ugly is in making the invisible visible. What ever it is you're looking at, its beauty potential is revealed as inharmonies become apparent. When something ugly is before you it's easy to feel how you'd like it to be instead, you get a felt sense of 'direction'.
Ugly is useful by offering something you can shape, it is a sketch and a canvas. If you put too strong a focus on getting all the important stuff right on your first try, it makes you liable to forget the less-important but still-important. Using ugly as starting point offers you protection from not leaving anything good behind. Messy is another great way to start. Messy offers a canvas with elements to organize, a sandbox where harmonies can be found.
