Artist Rachel Whiteread‘s sculptures bring to the foreground a concept of space we aren’t always aware of. Working to take negative space and make it a tangible reality, Whiteread uses her sculptures in order to physically define what surrounds objects. Using casting materials such as resin, plaster and rubber, she casts the negative space surrounding domestic and household objects. Through these sculptures, Whiteread explores ideas of absence, memory, and architecture, revealing the space we cannot define.
