Brico
Shortened from the word bricoleur, a french term, which refers to a person who draws from a diverse range of means to create something new, Brico is a bricolage of my own experiences, drawing from my travels around the world.

Everyone likes to have order, calendared events, familiarity; in “order” to preserve room for unexpected thoughts. I sit in a café, I sat here last week too. And perhaps eventually, I will find a certain portion of the deck, the same area, then the same chair and habitualize. Then it will be time to go home. It would be so easy to walk around but I am glued to the chair, the metal imprints on my legs, marking its ownership, its hold on me. I will be back.
To an extent I like to face fears, confront what causes anxiety, such as living in another country, traveling to strangers houses (WWOOFing), going places alone (during the day), etc. On the other hand, I too lay victim to the brawny grip of routine. I too find a bit of customization necessary to settle and when everything seems to pull at me from every direction I find solace in the comfort of this chair. It will be here tomorrow and the next day and the day after… That is to say if there is not another devastating earthquake or more endemic to Auckland, a volcano.
