Geocache Description:

This is the third cache in 'The Stones' series

This cache can be reached by following a path that is just off the pavement (there are no steps).

Co-ordinates are from the phone GPS so we would welcome a more accurate reading if you find ours to be a bit off.

Inside this cache (a click and lock box) there is a log book, pencil, some swaps and a travel bug.

'Outhouse' by artists Vong Phaophanit and Claire Oboussier was conceived as a sculpture and a useable social space. The sculpture is located in a strip of woodland in Woolton, in close proximity to four 1960s tower blocks, and on a key route into Liverpool. Outhouse inverts the appearance and construction of a typical home. Based on a local terraced house scaled to two thirds of its size with transparent glass walls and opaque windows. The sculpture is highly reflective and partially camouflaged by the surrounding woodland, its appearance changing with the weather and time of day.

During the day 'Outhouse', suggestive of a large den, offers an accessible inviting space for use by the local community. Inside blocks of sandstone arranged at differing heights mark the position of the once internal doors. At night the sculpture is visible from afar, lit from underneath by neon, to create a glowing red landmark within the dark woodland.
