Lick & Lather

This piece, “Lick & Lather,” by Janine Antoni, is constructed out of soap (white busts) and chocolate (brownish busts). It exhibits conceptual unity in its overarching chess-like imagery, in the representation of people—perhaps women specifically—in each line as both expendable and uniform (as opposing pawns) and as objects of consumption (as soap and chocolate).
