Anthony Graviano lived on the corner of Howard and Crosby Streets, roughly twelve blocks from the World Trade Center. What happened there, what was there, and what remains we can all see in the quiet of our minds.

One recurring image in Anthony's paintings is of gears among the ruins, tossed carelessly there the way a child abandons a toy. Why would a building, now crushed, contain such gears? The elevator, maybe? Some secret machine of commerce and finance? Or the airplane, one of them? Yes, it must be a gear from the engine of one of the airplanes.
