Eraserhead 

Like something from an upside-down dream, the five-ton shiny metal head of David Lynch was recently unveiled in Santa Monica. The artist wanted to depict a luminary from the film industry and calls Lynch “my favorite film director in all American cinema.” He also sees a connection to his hometown in Lynch’s music. The original soundtracks for Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive, and Lost Highwaywere all recorded by The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. “He asked permission,” says Christian Hohmann, owner of the Palm Desert gallery which represents the artist. “And Lynch loved it.”

“The spinning is 60% of the actual piece. The layers will shift and realign in a dynamic and mesmerizing way. At certain points in its revolution it will be figurative; at other’s (sic) it will be abstract and undiscernible (sic) as a human form. The sculpture will remain active 24 hours a day and will present extremely little to no noise disturbance.”
