David Lynch wasn’t just a filmmaker—he was a sculptor, painter, photographer, musician, and woodworker. But more importantly, he lived by a philosophy he called The Art Life—a way of creating that prioritizes intuition, mystery, and giving ideas the space they need to grow. In this video, I pay tribute to Lynch by making a woodworking piece inspired by his philosophy. Along the way, I reflect on how his ideas rewired my approach to creativity, shifting my focus away from algorithms and expectations and back to making for the sake of making. Whether you’re an artist, a maker, or just someone looking for inspiration, The Art Life has something to offer. Let’s explore what it means to trust the process, follow ideas where they lead, and create without fear.
