Abstract

The author links isomorphism in the creative process with the various definitions from other knowledge disciplines.  It represents the process of art-making and that it is no less important or equal to the outcome of the final product itself.  Creating art in this way embraces the ephemeral aspects of the mind that cannot be reduced or dissected. The author concludes that art-making builds its narrative, which can be perceived from both scientific cognition and artistic intuition. This paper implies the process of making confound curiosities and questions that lead to more discoveries and experimentations. Documenting each process of making deconstructs the mimetic imagery to its fundamental building blocks and decategorizes the boundaries between process and product. The documentation of each isomorphism illustrates the symbiotic connection between the intuitiveness of the creative process and the empirical structure of the form.
