For a while I lost my sense of self and dressed in void-core black. Finally I’m finding myself again in a new, colour-filled wardrobeFirst my dad died, followed by my gran, the resulting trauma forced me to quit my job, the love of my life left and before I knew it I was an only child who didn’t know who they were any more. All inside 18 months. I didn’t recognise the person who showed up at social gatherings, spoke for me or stared back from the mirror. That vanished person really enjoyed playfully dressing up but the new me only felt comfortable wearing black – an unconscious tonal shift to match life’s darkness.As a kid I’d often be deep in my puppeteer mum’s dress-up box, and she gave me a small clothing allowance from an early age (which I’m sure she sacrificed her own needs to provide) that gave me autonomy over my image. I was the only boy in my high school sewing class and for a time I wanted to be a tailor. I’m straight but my choice of clothing became a target for homophob...

28 hours ago David Lynch: the great American surrealist who made experimentalism mainstream

From disturbing debut Eraserhead to his masterpiece Mulholland Drive, Lynch’s dark tales combined radical experiment with everyday AmericanaDavid Lynch, Twin Peaks and Muholland Drive director, dies aged 78No director ever interpreted the American Dream with more artless innocence than David Lynch. It could be the title of any of his films. Lynch saw that if the US dreamed of safety and prosperity and the suburban drive and the picket fence, it also dreamed of the opposite: of escape, danger, adventure, sex and death. And the two collided and opened up chasms and sinkholes in the lost highway to happiness.Lynch was a film-maker who found portals to alternative existences and truffled in them like they were erogenous zones, moist orifices of existential possibility. He was the great American surrealist, but his vision was so distinctive that he became something other than that: a great fabulist, a great anti-narrative dissenter, his storylines splitting and swirling in non sequiturs ...
