Who knows how stable this gravity thing is? What if gravity fled the park? What if Mark di Suvero&#8217;s sculptures float away like stray ribbons? Imagine standing off the shore of the Park and watching the skyscrapers of Manhattan puncture the sky. In a preemptive strike against the anomalies of physics, I made In Preparation of the Reversal of Gravity (AKA The Flying Buttress).&#8221; Site I was out at Socrates for the first time since snow was on the ground. A warm spring day made the removal of my piece easy work. The fishermen were out trading stories with the sculpture folk. A man with a basset hound was checking out the Park&#8217;s new stone path.
