Ebbsfleet proposals unveiled

Whiteread takes her familiar inside out casting technique as the starting point for her sculpture. On top of an artificial, recycled crag would sit a life-size cast interior of a house. The overall effect is part fantastical, part industrial, with the crag rising seamlessly from the natural landscape in sharp contrast to the concrete geometry of the cast house.

Speaking about the detail of her design, Whiteread says, ‘As you walk up to it, it would become stranger, it would be an inside out house. The light switches would be inverted, the door handles would be inverted, the little details that you would only see close up would become more obvious.’
