The vernacular and the visceral

The vernacular and the visceral are two of my favourite concepts in relation to the creative process. Both side-step established vision.
Both hark back to a certain cultural rawness (of language, of interior being ).

Aesthetics have a relationship to these words when we see something that is not following particular or predictable patterns. We are drawn into the nuances of a visual language that may be only coming into being, and that birth has its origin in these two words. Doesn't everything?
