In the squishy mud in the geometrical center of Bryant Park, Thomas Faulkner hammered the final touches yesterday on the rough planks of his antiwar sculpture.
Interspersed around the wooden maze were wooden nameplates for battles, from ancient Kadesh through Hiroshima to Tet. Mr. Faulkner looked them up in the library on the east of the park. The final plate was blank. "It has no inscription," he explained, "and that's our future. Either we resolve our conflicts in new ways, or we face nuclear holocaust."
With occasional help from the drug dealers and derelicts who frequent the park, Mr. Faulkner built the sculpture over a period of months. It was co-sponsored by the Bryant Park Restoration Corporation and the Public Art Fund, which paid him $1,750.
The title is "People Who Live..." The idea, said Mr. Faulkner, director of the Task Force on World Disarmament in New York, is that "because of nuclear weapons, we all live in glass houses."
