Using original archival research, she traces how Lynch took his nightmare of Philadelphia to the City of Dreams, infusing his LA-shot film with the industrial cityscapes and sounds of the Callowhill district.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHenry then engages with \u003cem\u003eEraserhead\u003c\/em\u003e’s irresistible inscrutability and advances a fresh interpretation, reframing auteurism to centre Lynch’s creative processes as a visual artist and Transcendental Meditation practitioner.
