if ever viginia woolfs writing were manifested in building form, i think this might be similiar to its physical appearance. why do i make such a strange claim?
its entirely possible that one could erect some sort of 'scaffolding' on the side of this modernist interpretation of 'building', but there's no way it would work in the conventional scaffolding way. someone would undoubtedly have to design a custom-scaffolding for it.
get it?
maybe, its too early.
or late.

ReplyDeleteAsh, I love the metaphor. That is actually exactly how I picture her writing to be. The scaffolding idea reminds me of Eggers' use of "lattice" as a metaphor in his autobiography. I think VW also mentions the idea of interconnectedness of lives (both human and of nature) at some point in "Mrs. Dalloway" too. I do believe she uses a tree leaf being connected to Septimus by "millions of fibres" (22).
ReplyDeletenice connection, ash; and megan "the lattice" works too. is this building in boston or barcelona? great connection. aps
