Lawrence seems to think about time in terms of linear events and intersections. She looks at the way objects in her life denote points in time, accumulating into a continuum. Junk mail becomes a unit of measurement
I have always been fascinated by the idea that time is not linear, but perhaps that all points in time and all possible sequences of events are just mashed together 3 dimensionally, or perhaps in some form of dimensionality that we can't fully understand. I like to think about significant events in time being very "saturated". If reality is arranged like pages in a book, events that happen can "bleed through", leaving a ghostly impression on the past and the future.
Karen,
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about multidimentions just the other day and the movie Donie Darko. Have you seen that movie?
Anyway, I do think there is a "bleed through" that happens and I personanly have experienced 'ghostly impressions'.
