rachel whiteread is my absolute favourite artist. although her work is aesthetically very contemporary, she works with universal themes, allowing her art to resonate deep within a wide audience. many of her pieces work with the negative and unused spaces of cast architectural dwellings and domestic objects. she touches upon the ordinary objects and locations we often pass by without thought in our daily lives. rachel's spaces conjure the thought of what is missing, invoking feelings of loss and memories past. i chose these pieces because they are pretty, but there is so much more to them. you should probably watch the video below - it features her most well known piece.
