Rationale
Janine Antoni was also a recommended artist in my early stages of research. I found her use of the human body intriging as well as the resulting aesthetic of 'lick and lather' where the busts facial features were reduced to a ghostly visage. Her work has informed my project to a greater degree in advanced fabrication and construction where I am exploring claritas and the human form.

Janine Antoni (born January 19, 1964, in Freeport, Bahamas) is a contemporary artist, who creates work in performance art, sculpture, and photography. Antoni's works focus mostly on process and the transitions between the making and finished product. She often uses her body, as an entity or paying particular attention to body parts as tools, utilizing her mouth, hair, eyelashes, and, through technological scanning, the brain, to perform everyday activities to create her artwork

Lick and Lather (1993), Antoni produced fourteen busts, seven cast from chocolate and the other seven from soap. She then "re-sculpts" the busts by eating them (chocolate) and bathing herself (soap) as the title suggests
