Whiteread casts the empty spaces inside and around found objects and architectural structures in plaster, resin, or rubber. Her subjects often have domestic associations, from large interiors to small everyday items such as light switches.
In representing objects and buildings by the spaces around them, Whiteread memorialises not only her subjects but also their real or imagined histories.
