Field Notes:

Rooms chairs and boxes are turned inside out so that absence occupies weight

Defining Moment:

The house interiors and mattress casts where residual air becomes the central structural mass

(

1963–

Whiteread built a world where voids turn solid — casts of rooms and objects revealing the architecture left behind.

Her works transform emptiness into concrete memory.

Structural Focus

Boundary as Event

Edges, margins, thresholds, or limits carry meaning. Structure concentrates where form nearly disappears.

In Rachel Whiteread’s work, this approach appears where absence becomes spatial structure.

Constructed Surfaces

Surfaces are built through layering, joining, and controlled fabrication.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Atmosphere

Atmosphere accumulates through calibrated light, tone, and spatial pacing.

Material

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Space

Space is structured through openings, intervals, and boundary conditions.

Art

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Contemporary

Current practice engages inherited structures under present conditions.

Minimalism

Reduction clarifies form through repetition, scale, and restraint.
