 hen British artist Andy Goldsworthy was invited to Stanford to build a scul
 pture\, he was immediately drawn to the warm yellow sandstone of the campus
 ’s oldest buildings. He designed "Stone River" as an expression of what he 
 saw in the stone – that it was mobile and alive\, on a trajectory through t
 ime\, flowing like a river.\n\nIn this talk – accompanied by more than 300 
 photographs – Charles Junkerman will follow the fluid biography of Stanford
 's sandstone: scoured out of the Sierras by great rivers\, sedimented along
  the ancient ocean shore\, upthrust by colliding tectonic plates\, blasted 
 out of Greystone Quarry\, and brought by railroad to Palo Alto where it was
  dressed and carved by stone-workers into some of the most distinguished ac
 ademic architecture in the county. But the story continues. The great earth
 quake of 1906 brought down many of the buildings\, and the rubble was scatt
 ered: into garden walls on campus and in Palo Alto\, dumped into creeks\, a
 nd gathered in the "boneyard" on Old Page Mill Road\, where Andy Goldsworth
 y resurrected it and built something beautiful again.\n\n\nPresenter: Charl
