HAVE YOU BEEN LISTENING TO ME? HE SHOT THE DOG IN THE LIVING ROOM!
The day has come I’m actually surprised David Lynch’s latest video doesn’t involve a monkey named Jack.
For the promotional video for the David Lynch: Between Two Worlds exhibition in Brisbane, the artist took his 2004 mixed media piece Well… I can dream, can’t I? and gave the naked female figure a voice. His own, heavily distorted voice.

David Lynch’s art is often influenced by or at least titled after songs. Here’s the likely inspiration for the painting above.
