More pylons from the Houston Street pier; as a painter, I love the texture and colors, what nature does to man-made objects. I read an article about a homeless man who'd make art and then bury it in Battery Park. One day somebody in a suit saw him and asked what he was doing. The artist dug up a couple of his creations, which had taken on the wear and tear of being buried, and the suit bought several pieces. He gave him cash, $500, which the homeless man proceeded to bury as well in a plastic bag since he had no bank account to put it in.
