Janine Antoni

 Janine Antoni's work expresses an admiration for the body (specifically hers). Whether she is dipping her hair in ink and painting the floor (Loving Care) or molding herself from cow leather (Saddle), she uses her whole body in the process. I can appreciate her work because it has a deeper interpretation. 

One of my favorites, Eureka, is a bathtub filled with lard minus her body's imprint. She uses lard as a medium to represent the body so she is dipping herself in "body". Also, her use of the bathtub is ironic because she is not getting any cleaner by falling into a tub of lard. I appreciated her own interpretation or the story how density was discovered.
