Rachel Whiteread

negative space as form

Rachel Whiteread is a British sculptor known for casting the interiors or undersides of everyday structures—bathtubs, chairs, staircases, entire houses. By filling voids with concrete, resin, or plaster, she transforms absence into monumental presence. Her work explores memory, domesticity, and the unseen architecture of lived experience.

Whiteread was the first woman to win the Turner Prize, recognized for redefining sculpture through cast space.
