Lick & Lather Response

Janine Antoni's Lick and Lather was quite interesting.  At first I could not bring myself to take the meaning behind her artwork seriously, but after I saw the connections between the pieces I began to gain more of an appreciation for it.  I enjoyed that she looked at the rope she created as her life line and thought it would be adequate to learn how to tight rope.  Learning how to tightrope in retrospect caused her to learn how to spin hemp.  As for the chocolate and soap sculptures, there was a connection between her actions and the reasoning behind the piece.  The whole video displayed that the work I found myself laughing at, actually connected the thoughts behind her work fluently with her actions.
