For Stone Sea, Andy Goldsworthy drew inspiration from St. Louis geology and the city's underlying bedrock of limestone, formed in prehistoric times when the Midwest was covered by water. Using limestone from a local quarry, Goldsworthy constructed 25 unique arches employing ancient Roman dry-stone engineering. This dense network of stone arches each measure about 10 feet high and weigh 300 tons in total.
