Janine Antoni's Lick and Lather.

Janine Antoni's use of everyday items and even her own body, allows her to become a part of her art work. I thought it was brilliant using her own hair as a paint brush. This allowed her to get completely enthralled in her work. By using her own body as her tool she creates a better connection with the viewer. I loved that she used materials that have been forgotten and are not thought of to be used in the way she does. She even goes as far as to learn new skills and trades in order to use these materials. Using materials of everyday life and connecting them by making them a rope can metaphorically show how everything is interconnect. This can seen through the use of the Christmas dress of her grandmother that connects her to memories of her grandmother.
