Typewriter parts, pieces of wood, plastic dolls, inner tubes, bicycle rims, car tires, pebbles, feathers, plaster… Almost nothing can become a work of art. Claude Lévi-Strauss distinguished the engineer, who would have a precise project, from the bricoleur (handyman), who adapts to the means available to them. Art Brut contains many such bricoleurs by necessity, who find their materials in the streets, on sidewalks, or in trash bins, and recycle them with remarkable ingenuity. Bricolage is also about the simple pleasure of arranging the objects around us, much as children do.
