Rachel Whiteread

Should have put these up sooner but Rachel Whiteread, Turner Prize winner in 1993, has been a big influence on my FMP. Her sculptures are so imposing obviuosly by there size but also by their monolithic nature. 'House' is overwhelming by it's size alone but as with 'Ghost' the aspect that interests me is that they are reliefs. This was much more suitable because I wanted to project some bike related designs/drawings onto a bike and for it to cast shadows but once Rachel Whiteread was brought to my attention (by Adam Guy) the idea of creating negative reliefs was much more interesting.

Rachel Whiteread is also well know for here piece 'Embankment' that appeared in the Tate Modern, also pictured.
