'Stone House (Bonnington)' is an excavated area of bedrock, approximately six metres by eight metres in size, on top of which, is a house-like building made of stone. In 'Stone House (Bonnington)' bedrock erupts dramatically into the space of the house. The effect is primordial, unearthly and uncanny. The work is an important deepening of a sculptural experience that emerged in Goldsworthy’s art with Rock Fold (1993), for which he explains, 'I removed the soil to reveal the bedrock…revealing something that is there, but which to a large extent is hidden, or not understood, or acknowledged.' 'Stone House (Bonnington)' also continues Goldsworthy’s interest in the house as a frame or container for encounters with profoundly intransigent, undomesticated materials, as in 'Stone House' (2005) or his suite of 'Clay Houses (Boulder-Room-Holes)' for Glenstone Museum (2007–2008).
