Gut Instinct

About

Gut Instinct draws inspiration from the concept of intuition, the ability to acquire knowledge without recourse to conscious reasoning or needing an explanation. The term intuition encompasses various interpretations across different fields, including direct access to unconscious knowledge, unconscious cognition, gut feelings, inner sensing, and inner insight to unconscious pattern-recognition. It also refers to the ability to understand something instinctively, without any need for conscious reasoning. Intuitive knowledge tends to be approximate or heuristic in nature. The word intuition originates from the Latin verb intueri, translated as "consider," or from the Late Middle English word intuit, meaning "to contemplate." The use of intuition is commonly referred to as responding to a "gut feeling" or "trusting your gut," concepts that form the foundation of this artist's creative identity.
