Quotes from J.X. Nova:

If you make your mark too forcefully, you risk becoming a marked man.
If you do it again, you become remarkable.
If you don’t make your mark forcefully enough, you don’t risk anything, except being unremarkable.

then the collagist/assemblagist must always be trying to put himself back together.

I am applying a layer of enigma to the conundrum,
confusion to the chaos,
doo-doo to the bull hockey.
