This work is called "Ghost" (1990) by Rachel Whiteread. The work is a cast of the interior of a room in a deralict house. It is about the ghost like impressions of a lived in space, particularly evocative of this idea is the blackened imprint of the fire place. I also feel that it is a very good refference to my work as it is a record of a space without purpose where purpose once was. The technical process is facinating also, makes me want to do some work with plaster or concreat, something that is blanck enough not to distract from the idea yet is fitting with the theem.
