Izzo: Variations Of Variations

I jotted down some of the features and themes that I find in Joseph Cornell's work that I believe can give me a little guidance as I write this piece: nostalgia, exotica, ephemera, dilapidated finery, irrational juxtaposition, memory and whimsy.

An idea that came to mind was that each variation could illustrate one of these themes. So, for now I'm working with this game plan though as often is the case,I'll probably need to make Frankenstein-like adjustments.
