Reflect Triptych
Anton likes to imbue his work with an illusion of movement or gesture, bodies curling up or limbs reaching out to the onlooker, inspirational “action figures” projecting tremendous emotion, a call to movement. He works with metals and stones, also creating a unique iron and polymer cast mixture, which combines metal with several other mediums.
Anton compliments his work with poetry:
“We have the picture of you in mins,
when you were young, posturing
(for a photographer) in scarves
(if you could have done it). But now,
for none of you is immortal, ninety
three, the three, ninety and three,
Mary, Ellen and Emily, what
beauty is it clings still about you?
Undying? Magical? For there is still
no answer, why we live or why
you will not live longer than I
or that there be an answer why
any should live and whatever other
should die. Yet you live. You live
and all that can be said is that
you live, time cannot alter it –
and as I write this Mary has died.”
– William Carlos Williams
