Self Implied

At the core of Antony’s work is the belief that while we may perceive the world as separate objects - a table, a chair, a window - there is an underlying inter-connectivity that often goes unnoticed. He seeks to challenge this perception through his art, evoking a sense of wonder and contemplation about the fluid relationship between subject and object.

Antony’s curiosity about consciousness and identity began in childhood with a simple question to his father: “Why am I me and not Paul?” This early sense of wonder grew into a deeper exploration, enriched by experiences with LSD, Buddhist philosophy, and Jungian psychology. These influences shaped his awareness of the interconnectedness of life, which later became central to his artistic vision.

While photography traditionally captures discrete objects, Antony uses the medium to delve beyond the surface. By digitally manipulating his photographs, he bridges the gap between the visible and the invisible. He values the immediacy of photography but embraces its capacity for open-ended interpretation.
