Lot Essay

"I think I've always worked using things that have appealed to my domestic sensibility in a way. And that may sound quite strange, but it has to do with wanting to be kind of grounded, and feel my feet on the ground, literally. Simple as that...So the narrative of my work is really born from what everyone experiences every day, the psychological process, politics, all of those things." -Rachel Whiteread
