The goal is to break things down in to the most basic of elements. Nature, object, anatomy & composition. The development of these objects in relation to one another, yet somehow find a way to make each of them integrate into one another. Inspiration is drawn from the simple elements which we find in nature, yet rarely take the time out to enjoy.The famous novelist, Ayn Rand, responds to the question: "What does art do?" by answering: A concept is a mental integration of two or more units which are isolated according to a specific characteristic and united by a specific definition.... The act of isolation involved is a process of abstraction: i.e., a selective mental focus that takes out or separates a certain aspect of reality from all others.... The uniting involved is not a mere sum, but an integration, i.e., a blending of the units into a single, new mental entity which is used thereafter as a single unit of thought.
Isolation and integration are the core processes involved in both concept formation and artistic creation.
