To the Lighthouse
Captions available
The idea
To the Lighthouse, of nineteen twenty-seven, centres on the Ramsay family's visits to the Isle of Skye. Its middle section, "Time Passes," covers years of loss in a few pages, and the painter Lily Briscoe finally completes the picture she began at the start.
In practice
Three parts; a painting finished.
Where people slip
"Time Passes" compresses a decade.
