One night while painting an image of garden plants in his studio at PAFA, David Lynch (b. 1946) experienced something that changed his life. He paused from work and looked at the canvas only to perceive sound and motion coming from within. “I’m looking at the painting and from the painting came a wind. . . And the green garden plants began to move. . . And I’m looking at this and hearing this and I say, ‘Oh, a moving painting.’ And that was it.”
