Janine Antoni
Janine Antoni was born in Bahamas, in 1964. She studied in
Lawrence College in New York, I observed in the movie that sometimes she use her body as a tools her
tool. When using her skills to go over the rope on the water, it brings to the
viewer she is walking on the water. She also wants to get back to materials and
objects that people forget what they are made of and who made them. Her work is
extremely interesting. Other use for her body as tools is that using her teeth
to sculpt or her hair as a paint brush. She physically becomes one with her art
and it’s a closer feel. I love what she use. Some of her works is interesting. She
has adapted skills and trades along her way. When I saw how she made the rope,
it looks like it’s braided together, it looks different, I think she mean the
life or road of life.

Posts are getting better, but take more time to write in your own words. Don't tell me what I already know tell me what I don't know. Use your intellect of art to describe the works as well.
