Intuition


Fate, Destiny and Self Determination/le sort, le destin et l'auto-determination at Trames Gallerie, Montreal Centre for Contemporary Textiles, January 2015


Agata Zielinska-Glowacka, Poland

Recently I was listening to a CBC Ideas podcast entitled Eureka! It examined the processes by which we have that flash of insight, that AHA moment.....essentially what we think of as creativity. Though many of the stories they used to describe this phenomena were based on science, the same processes occur when we are problem solving in our every day life, and our creative endeavours. I thought Agata's shape above, was a good example of intuition.....the reconfinguring of experience, knowledge and insight.

A good example of working intuitively....children are such great reminders to reconnect with this powerful way of knowing our world and life.
