You’ll find it right there, behind Asbury Circle, under that massive, shady tree in the heart of the Emory campus. This granite grove, aptly nicknamed “Stone Grove,” was a gift from the Class of 2000. It’s made up of simple, chair-like structures, each offering a comfortable, albeit slightly precarious perch for those who wish to bask in the shade and quiet of the woods. The chair carvings are a minimalist creation of famed environmental sculptor Richard Nonas, known for his simple, but powerful approach to design. The surrounding foliage, sometimes slightly disturbed, signifies the constant use of the Grove as a spot for quiet reflection. But what was the inspiration behind this unique piece? Nonas drew inspiration from the very landscape of the area. He believed that the natural setting and the materials he used contributed to the powerful sense of peace and serenity that pervades the Grove. The Stone Grove is more than just a place to sit – it’s a space for thought and contemplation. It’s a spot that inspires introspection and allows us to appreciate the beauty of the campus. So, as you walk through the Grove, don’t just take a seat – take a deep breath and appreciate the artistry of the natural landscape and the profound work of its creator.
