Rachel Whiteread is known for her casts of the spaces in, under or on everyday objects. She takes direct casts from beds, chairs, tables, bookcases and wardrobes, investigating the familiar domestic landscape of things designed by humans for human use. The daybed is closely related to a group of sculptures which explore the space underneath a single bed in casts made from plaster or rubber. To understand them, the viewer needs mentally to reconstruct a bed around them, slotting legs into the holes and imagining the sprung construction up against which the cast material pushes.
