a. The process that Janie Antoni used in her piece "Moore" was that she took pieces of clothing, paper, wires, etc that belonged to her family, cut them up in strips and then twisted together to make a rope. The meaning behind the piece is what Antoni used in the video "an umbilical cord" of the people in her life all joined together in this rope form.
b. I believe that the rope-tying method is appropriate to the meaning she is trying to get across because tying all her friends and families clothes or objects together to her own shows how much they mean to her and how close they are to her. Also the important role they share in her life.
c. I don't think someone with any verbal knowledge would understand what Antoni was trying to convey because it's just a rope. People would question it's meaning or why the rope-tying process was used. I think they would just think it was plain old rope that she may have bought and i think they would miss it's actually meaning and what it stands for.
