Touch by Diane Ackerman Response

Touch can mean different things to different people. Touch can represent either being touched physically by someone or something, or touched emotionally. Some people may abuse touch or some people use it to comfort. For example, touching and being touched by our mothers is the most significant memory of love, which helps us live a long life. Who knew that even being hugged or touched by you’re mother, as a child, would help a person grow, which can even decrease stress.

Without knowing it, touch allows us to find our way in the world, through the darkness or though light. Touch allows us to figure out if something is hard, soft, heavy, or light. Touch fills our memory with important details as to how we are formed. Touch can even bond us to another person, through a kiss. Touch is everywhere, whether you think it is or not.

Janine Antoni Video Interview Response

All of Janine Antoni’s works demonstrates thoughtful and meaningful ideas, but I think Antoni’s work relates to her identify in some way or form because she wanted to incorporate herself and her body in her work.

Antoni’s work that represents an umbilical cord represents herself and those who are close to her. What stands out is that she uses a rope to tie those who are close to her into the piece. It’s very interesting how others, the people closest to Antoni, also created things to help put into the object to represent themselves. How she’s adding her friends and family is really inspiring because she found a unique way to add those people into a piece.

While making the rope, Antoni thought about how it would be interesting to walk on the rope, therefore she taught herself how to tight rope. I admire this idea because Antoni is thinking of ways to use herself to interact with her piece. The rope represented her life, and the people who are in her life, so it was interesting how she decided to go back to the Bahamas, and tight rope on the beach outside of the house, which she grew up.

I really admire how Antoni’s immerse herself into her work. How she used herself in multiple ways allowed her work to bring on a whole different meaning. This allows her to think in different ways because she lets her work bring her to other pieces. If it’s the rope project, to learning to tight rope, to allowing her to then think about a piece about falling.

On Longing by Susan Stewart Response

“The body is the primary mode of perceiving scale.”

The individual can use their own body to represent themselves and to express their personality.

“Capacity of objects to serve as traces of authentic experience.”

Certain objects represent different experiences. There could be many different types of souvenirs to show off those experiences. Either those objects mean something or just show off that experience.

“The souvenir reduces the public, the monumental, and the 3 dimensional into the miniature that which can be enveloped by the body.”
