One walk to the southeast corner of Central Park was to see Doors for Doris an art installation presented by the Public Art Fund.  This installation created from a collection of discarded marble remnants from various renovation projects and stone yards around the city examines how our culture values and utilizes materials.
Sam Moyer (b. 1983, Chicago, IL) created a massive three-part sculpture, with a title that pays homage to Public Art Fund founder, Doris C. Freedman (1928-1981). The three-part sculpture made from stone marks the threshold between Central Park’s boulder-filled terrain and Midtown Manhattan’s built environment.
The polished stones contain the markings and shapes of their original uses. They also display the unique colors, patterns and geological history of their sources (quarries in Brazil, China, India, Italy and more.)

“Each stone in Moyer’s mosaic compositions takes on an even more striking hue against the others and the locally-quarried rock, an apt metaphor that encourages us to consider the diverse character of our city and our interconnected lives within it.”
