mutatismutandisSummary: Charles and Erik, against the backdrop of the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair and it’s three themes.
And the great metal skin was peeled back in his mind’s eye, to reveal a living, breathing organism.
The metal breathed, inhale and exhale, behind concrete ribs. Expand and contract. The vertebrae of reinforced steel, climbing six-hundred feet above the ground. The give and take of electrons, push and pull of cations and anions at the cellular level. A great metal skin stretched over the entire surface; that glowed the same color as Phidias's Bronzes in the proper light.
A look at Charles and Erik as young men, still in love and full of hope but with the shadow of the future already on them. This is lyical and sad, and the setting is perfect for them.
