Janine Antoni often makes use of her body to explore abstract expression and femininity. In Loving Care, Antoni paints with her hair. The stark image of her mopping the floor on her hands and knees looks almost desperate and subservient, but the painting left behind is evidence of the creative power that she holds. She wields this power with her hair, a symbol of feminine beauty. Through Antoni's performance and the resulting painting we can see how creativity can burst out into the most mundane and submissive actions.
