"While attempting to regain normality after living on the set of his first feature film, Eraserhead, Lynch took a job delivering The Wall Street Journal to keep money coming in. While perusing the street, he became taken with collecting pieces of wood left in and around people's homes for waste collection. From these, over several weeks and months, he built a shed in his back garden, "with found wood, found windows, found everything. It was a beautiful world," he wrote."
"In January of this year, when Lynch, a life-long smoker, passed from emphysema, podcaster Jenny Claffey, a known Lynch devotee, was about to escape into a new world of her own. "I was at a preview for this film called Bring Them Down with Barry Keoghan, and my friend Ross texted me 'David Lynch,' with a broken heart emoji," she says. "At that exact moment, the film began. So I just kind of gasped, switched my phone off, and took it in in silence.""
