A cabinet with giraffes inlaid on the exterior doors and elephants on the interior, each pair facing one another. The imagery shifts as the cabinet opens, revealing a second condition that is not immediately apparent. The relationship between the pairs is discovered rather than declared. By unfolding through contact, the work holds the exterior and interior equal – an enduring preoccupation in Anton’s work.

“This cabinet invites the viewer to examine recognisable subjects as they appear in their own perceptions, memories and emotions. Interaction leads to revelation, ensuring the emphasis transcends the external to validate the interior. It also happens to be a strikingly stunning piece at face value.”
