Ideas of an artist can come from many places. Childhood memories, family, friends, history, or even dreams, just to name a few. These are important to an artist because they can define who we are as a person and let our personality shine like the summer sun in Texas. The different materials artists choose to work with allow them to experiment with different items, and give them a chance to grow while learning what works for them and what doesn’t. The significance of the material is simple; an artist wants to amaze people with their work. Artists like to be at ease and comfortable while working on a project, that is why some take months and even years to complete. The reason why I make my art is to show people the world through my eyes and the way I see it. I don’t just limit myself to showcasing my work to just men or kids. My work is open to any pair of eyes that are willing to see what I have to say.
Janine Antoni uses a wide variety of material when she works. She has been creative with chocolate, lard, soap, loving care, cover girl, led, rope, copper, and the list goes on. In most of her artwork, her only tool was her body. Her teeth were the hammers, and her beautiful long hair and eyelashes were her paintbrushes. Most of Janie inspiration came from the Greek time period, The Holy Bible and her family. She explained each piece with great detail. She told the audience all of the who’s, what’s, how’s, and why’s. Janine loves to create, that is why she enjoys being an artist.
