I LOVE THIS WORD! Bricolage is definitely an element of what I do. There is also in the mandala a specific dynamic related to its roundness, and its being built around a core in the center. The four directions, the concentric circles, the nature of the materials, the tapping into the intuitive/subconscious, all these are integral aspects of the whole phenomenon as well.
Maybe we need a new word that means all of this. Or maybe we just call them mandalas, and let people see for themselves.
