Moor

         Janine Antoni's roping making is different parts of materials that either belonged to her family or friends. Her materials went from pillow cases to extension cords being torn apart to be put in the rope. She says the rope is like an umbilical cord. A umbilical cord connects things together. So the rope she makes some how it is connected to her life, has some sort of meaning to this world. And she lets people know by some how sticking an object out of the rope. She wants the viewer to uncover the story behind the objects they see. Someone with no experience in this artwork may still probably get the image she is trying to show. Every piece is different colors, shades, and material. Some parts of the rope is only pink with feathers, while others have hammocks put together. they might miss the meaning of how her life is connecting all these people she knows just through this rope.
