Brownsville artist Billy Tripp, is a bit different from the rest. The Mindfield is perfect proof. A structure begun in 1989, the Mindfield is the creation and life’s work of the artist, and will continue to evolve until Billy’s death. It is a collection of steel, each piece representing various events and periods of Billy’s life.

Billy Tripp also has a book, The Mindfield Years, which serves as a further representation of his life through the voices of three main characters and their efforts to find meaning, purpose and contentment in the existence to which they were born. A strange, yet fascinating site, a trip to the Mindfield is well worth it.
