ceiling

I also went to the Rachel Whiteread drawings exhibition at Tate Britain when I was in London - terrific near abstract drawings for pieces that became sculptures - and other pieces too: plenty of grids, and irregular geometric segments fitting together, and much use of correcting fluid as white paint - on black paper, or blocking out pieces of drawings.

But unfortunately this form, although it looks as though it's been painted in pale ochre washes, isn't a Whiteread original, but it's the ceiling of the stairwell outside my office door.   I can't believe that whatever lies above it - or between it and the roof - is in very good condition.
