There is nothing wrong with this, except that it ain't so. " Mark Twain - Interesting to think about how a stylistic approach to making pictures (exampled by what tools are used / available) can be a either be a help or a hindrance... I particularly like the book example "none of the maquettes would exist now...." with out the help of seeing them on the machine (the archived image)... It's a funny sort of physical limitation but understandable.... rearranging them in order to find a story for them that might be plausible takes time and perspective to recognize and then to develop - maybe that's were intuition lies. “Truth is mighty and will prevail.
