noun bri·co·lage | \ ˌbrē-kō-ˈläzh , ˌbri-\
: construction (as of a sculpture or a structure of ideas) achieved by using whatever comes to hand
According to French social anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss, the artist “shapes the beautiful and useful out of the dump heap of human life.” Lévi-Strauss compared this artistic process to the work of a handyman who solves technical or mechanical problems with whatever materials are available. He referred to that process of making do as bricolage, a term derived from the French verb bricoler (meaning “to putter about”) and related to bricoleur, the French name for a jack-of-all-trades.
