INNER FIELDS NY
In 2015 Elaine founded Inner Fields NY; an experiential, collaborative project exploring the intersection of Buddhism, radical ecology, and artistic practice. Through a creative methodology grounded in gift economics and communal intimacy, Inner Fields designs public programs and curated events aimed at breaking down hierarchical and commodity-based forms of interaction, and building relationships steeped in ecological wisdom.
Initially founded in Elaine’s apartment in Brooklyn, gatherings were shared and promoted by word-of-mouth; largely from Elaine selling her artworks on the streets of her neighborhood and propagating conversations around interbeing and change, one person at a time. Inner Fields is now a collectivized organization of seven artists, writers, scholars, and educators, and is hosted in various unique sites across the United States.
Gatherings occur in site specific locations and/ or as part of immersive art installations. These ephemeral, participatory spaces are intended for social and artistic engagement, and are not designed solely for passive viewing, performance, or exhibition.
