Why this word is great
BRICOLAGIST — [Noun] An artist who creates works by assembling them from a diverse range of available materials, objects, or ideas. From French bricolage ("improvised construction, do-it-yourself work") + English agent suffix -ist. Unlike a collagist, whose domain is the flat plane of paper and image, or a sculptor, who imposes form upon a monolithic medium, the bricolagist is a diplomat of the discarded, forging alliances between orphans of utility. The art is in the hinge of a rusted locket glued to a broken circuit board, in a chandelier refashioned from prescription bottles and chicken wire, in a philosophy built from the salvage of other philosophies. It is the quiet triumph of connection over coherence, finding a new whole in the world's splendid, scattered parts.
