Mind Fields is a book featuring paintings by the Polish artist Jacek Yerka and short stories by the American author Harlan Ellison. The 34 paintings by Yerka were created first. Ellison then wrote a short story based on his reaction to each of these paintings. The only exception was the story "Under the Landscape" which was based on two similar paintings.
