Lick and Lather ~ Reflection

I think that Janine Antoni is a very note resting and dynamic artist. She loves to have meaning behind every project and even within each project. She is very specific about what materials she uses and were they come from. She is also careful and particular in her process, of how she creates the art. She doesn't want the materials to become lost in the final piece. 

I love how important it is for her to use her body in her art pieces. It brings out the factor that we often forget, that art is labor intensive. In the scene where she is painting with her hair, it struck me as an odd but beautiful thing. Janine thinks outside the box as an artist, but she does so simplistically. Everything she uses in her pieces and everything she does has a purpose and a meaning and I admire her for that.
