Artist Rachel Whiteread looks at everyday things slightly different than most of us. Actually she is not looking at things, she is looking at spaces and turning them in to solid objects. By taking the concept of void to another level, she has cast everything from the void created by a staircase to the inside of a terrace house in London. The paradox of solids representing spaces inside, around and adjacent to tangible objects is intriguing, and that solid space makes present something that is actually absent.
