Rachel Whiteread, a contemporary artist who works with with a mixture of materials from concrete to rubber, has the most mesmerising sculptures that range from different shapes and sizes. With her exhibition currently up at the Tate, you really get a feel of variety as her sculptures go from very constructive to elegant, due to some things being just complete concrete and have the look of something from a construction site, to then something with the look off jelly from its texture. Whitereads sculptures go from very minimal to larger scales, with her work being sustainable to be inside or out, it shows her versatility to create pieces that can uphold their potential. One thing that really drew me in was the clear sculptures, from looking at them it felt as though you could quite literally touch it and it could fall to pieces, that kind of vulnerability in a sculpture is admiring to me.

Whiteread really uses her skill to create objects that seem very fragile and precious, then contrasts it with with huge, plain objects that are very blunt. With the two opposites being mixed together within one space, it feels that everything you see is completely new and not created by the same person, which for me adds a completely different feel to the exhibition as a whole, you get a taste of something new with everything corner you turn. The colours see very fluid, when you see them all as a whole you can notice that the tones of them and the strength of the colours are all very similar, showing their unison yet the shape shows their differences.
