Lynch’s work explores the idea of “fear”, living in the middle-ground between the real and the hypothetical; and one’s disproportionate psychological or physical response to stimuli. The feelings, thoughts, and topics discussed [whether real or imagined] can be seen expressed in pictorial form. It is not the aim of Lynch to arouse a feeling of fear, diffidence, or distress in the viewer; but to leverage creation to exorcise those feelings within himself and let the audience find themselves witnessing a moment of vulnerability. Through this experience, the artist casts aside any lingering doubts within himself and questions whether this fear is authentic or merely a fabrication; ultimately disposing of them as if they were pages of a journal set aflame.
