Concrete and steel
Rachel Whiteread's work explores absence and memory, and how deeply these things are rooted within domestic spaces. I really enjoy the reversal of of the interior/exterior, how the intimacy of the space becomes public but completely inaccessible.

Also, while looking for artists that use "craft materials," I found Nana Akua's documentation of her grandmother's termari (handballs). Temari is is a folk art practice that originated in China. It was introduced in Japan during the 7th century A.D.
