About this work

This piece looks like a big, flat shape made of tiny hexagons. The edges are rough and uneven, almost like a cast of something hollow. The whole thing is one color—no shadows or highlights, just a simple, solid look. The hexagons fill the whole space, but the edges feel messy. It’s not a smooth shape. The artist used metal sheets to make it, etched in a way that keeps the lines sharp. Look up Rachel Whiteread next—she often works with casts of empty spaces.
