The work tilled cornered makes a highly contemporary body of work, by looking at these spaces with in the home White asks us to look at them in a different way, thus painting them to look like something that they are not. Not only do the images look hyper real, but White has used photographic techniques such as selective cropping to draw your eye to the subject in question.
The sense of claustrophobia that some of the images allows the viewer to notice that the subjects in these images are not anything that special, however this allows the viewer to have more connection with the work. By creating images that show a 'real' space the viewer can then connect to the work or be more drawn to it.
Each image has been hand painted onto aluminium, thus this is why there is a small section left unpainted at the bottom of each painting, the paintings have then be vanished and placed inside a large plastic box. Both these elements add to the shine and the reflection that you get on the surface of the images. Once more this adds to the photographic quality of the images, much like snapshots of a family home then printed as part of the album.
