I've recently been looking into Rachel Whiteread's work. Her casts of objects, show all the internal marks and features of the objects long after the object itself is gone. A trace of the object still visible, documenting it's existence.
Her piece "House" shows this wonderfully. A sculptural cast of a house that was going to be demolished. Her work keeps the idea of the house alive (well,an internal mirror copy)
I like this idea of preserving something. A mark of it being there, even though it's no longer there itself...this I guess is what I'm trying to explore at the moment.
