Rachel Whiteread!

I would like to take a moment to look at Whiteread's work, because I really like her ideas and strategies.
She makes casts of domestic objects, and takes the negative space of them. Almost like turning them inside out and revealing their true nature. As Gaston Bachelard said in 'Poetics of Space', a house and the objects inside it are "abodes to an unforgettable past"


'Wait' 2005



'Twenty-five Spaces', 1995
