Description
Paperback
InCatching the Big Fish, internationally acclaimed filmmaker David Lynch provides a rare window into his methods as an artist, his personal working style, and the immense creative benefits he has experienced from the practice of meditation.
Lynch describes the experience of “diving within” and “catching” ideas like fish and then preparing them for television or movie screens and other mediums in which he works, such as painting, music, and design. Lynch writes for the first time about his more than three-decade commitment to Transcendental Meditation and the difference it has made in his creative process.
In brief chapters, Lynch explains the development of his ideas: where they come from, how he grasps them, and which ones appeal to him the most. He specifically discusses how he puts his thoughts into action and how he engages with others around him. Finally, he considers the self and the surrounding world and how the process of “diving within” that has so deeply affected his own work can directly benefit others.
Catching the Big Fishwill come as a revelation to the legions of fans who have longed to better understand Lynch’s personal vision. And it will be equally intriguing to those who wonder how they can nurture their own creativity.
