I’ve long been an admirer of Rachel Whiteread’s work which can be seen at Tate Britain for another couple of weeks. Best known for her large scale sculpture projects, one of my favourites includes this one, Untitled (One Hundred Spaces) 1995, laid out in the Duveen Galleries
I almost expect to see the elements vibrate with the memories of the space they contain. Most exhibits are displayed in one large room with no internal divisions; I enjoyed walking from one area to the next and turning back to see the room from different angles Due Porte, featured on the catalogue cover, looks quite different from the side.I hadn’t seen these studies and domestically scaled sculptures before, which resonated for me in a different way. Her work strikes me with its humanity regarding memory.
