Tate Britain 8 September 2010 – 16 January 2011When I draw my initial idea paper or concept sketches, it is rare that I keep them well until the final development. They are easy to disappear and be forgotten.
However Rachel Whiteread shows that concept drawings or idea sketch paper also can be a great masterpiece. She is well-known for her large-scale beautiful sculptures but tate britain's current exhibition offers a rare opportunity to explore her works on paper, most of which have never been shown before in a public gallery.
I was impressed by the materials what she used on her drawings. She used varnish on graph paper to express surface texture of her translucent sculpture. Her high quality drawings are not only for just the initial concept but also for the final visualisaiton.
