Micro-Landscapes of the Anthropocene

The Interior as Interiority

Virginia Woolf, in her novel 'To the Lighthouse' delves into the intricate relationship found between an individual and their physical surroundings. Being a modernist herself, one of the main concepts Wool delves into within her novel is the concept of interiority and the manner in which furniture anthropomorphism can invite one to a more concrete and clear understanding of their inner most abstract self. Very much like the human, house interiors such as the Ramsay house are susceptible to spatial changes which affect the experiences of those experiencing them. The integration of objects within a structure, like the individual as they come to interact with their environments, allows a space to grow and adapt, change and reverse, into an interior which is a better reflection of the innate human interiority.
