Janine Antoni Response

After watching the video about Janine Antoni I have decided she is very dedicated to her work. She thinks deeply about her art, every piece has a story behind it and nothing is really as simple as it first appears. She uses her body as a material in many pieces. She used her hair as paintbrush, she dipped herself in a tub of lard, and made many molds of herself for various pieces. What she does seems a little out there to me. But at the same time her art becomes very personal. She's a very artistic thinker, the surface is not the end to her art. I can't imagine using my body in the ways she uses hers to create art. She is very dedicated to her pieces.
