Ukuhombisa iindonga zabantu abazizityebi ayisiyiyo apho izimvo zihlala khona kwaye zife. UDuchamp wakhe wathi ‘usisidenge njengomzobi.’ Andizange ndifune ukuba sisidenge, watsho.
Amagqabantshintshi afana nala ayisiyondlela ifanelekileyo yokwenza abahlobo, ubuncinci hayi phakathi kweepeyinti. Oko akuwugcinanga umsebenzi wakhe ekungeneni kwingqokelela yabucala kunye neemyuziyam kwihlabathi liphela.
Umsebenzi wam ngoku uyinyani kwimiba efanayo naleyo bendiqala ngayo Izitulo Ezinye Nezintathu . Sasijonge kubugcisa, kwaye sasijonga inkcubeko, njengabathengi nje.

Kwaye, uKosuth uphawula ukuba, umsebenzi wakhe waba yifolisethi yezifundo.
Kulungile, utshilo, ebuyela kumxholo wentengiso yobugcisa, imfuno yobugcisa ifana nokuba notatomkhulu omdala afune umfazi ukuba abe mhle kwaye akhulelwe kwaye anganxibanga zihlangu, kwaye angabinanto yokuthetha. Into entle ukuxhoma phezu kwesingqengqelo sakho.
Ndisoloko ndiphikisana naloo nto, wongeze egxininisa, xa ubugcisa buncitshiswa bube yitayi ngaphezulu kwesingqengqelo, kukuphela kwayo. Iqala i-atrophy kwaye iba phantsi kwencasa yokuguquguquka kwefashoni.
