Field's own story involves his search for fulfillment as a gay man and a poet in the decades before Stonewall and the freedom he found in Greenwich Village to engage in all kinds of self-expression, from psychoanalysis and to sitting in an orgone box.
In Orgone Accumulator, 1999, the artist paid homage to Reich's Orgone Box (a mystical isolation tank designed to infuse its inhabitant with sexual energy) and in Analogue Fountain, 1999, to Ian Sommerville and Brion Gysin's druglessly psychoactive Dreamachine (a simple device that filters light from an ordinary bulb to create a flickering pattern with the power, when observed through closed eyelids, to induce a visionary state).
