"Improvisation" - Its Theme and Visualization.....

In visualizing "Improvisation", some thoughts and questions come to mind...  is this a vegetarian soup being proposed? if not, where's the meat? what kind of meat would be used in such a visualization - indeed, what is the purpose of this visualization, this 'nature of improvisation' being visualized?  would roadkill do - if so, what kind? perhaps pigeon, rat, and puppy? a hare? why or why not? [note - could had said armadillo, but size preclude this if seeking life size] if not any of the projected roadkill, what else might do - why or why not?  what differences, if any, would come from the choices in terms of sense of life? in terms of originality? in terms of improvising itself?

Almost across now...

Beginning the background wall...

 Beginning, basically, with the pot, am establishing the intensity because of it being a black pot, so everything else can be tallied in concert with this 'value pushing' achieved here...

 and extending to the assorted veggies shown...

along with a fruit, an example of the 'potluck' of a stone or nail soup - never really knowing what will show to be included.....
