Abstract: By Interweaving the evolving thoughts of cover artist (RD) and physicist (RT), the creative journey that led to the artworks featured on this year s journal covers is recorded. This process serves as a demonstration of how a shared interest in chaos and fractals leads to creations that reflect the artistic and scientific views of nature s structures. The resulting art works can be viewed as an emergent phenomenon at the art-science interface. The series of art works capture the visual evolution of this emergence - culminating in an intricate sculpture that induces the form of a Sierpinski Triangle in the observer s mind.

Keywords: chaos, creativity, fractals, perception
