Biografia
We are not the authors of the thoughts or ideas we call ‘ours’. The creative act is an autonomous occurrence within us. Modern poetic and artistic constructs are not just allegories or metaphors for the known but personifications of an autonomous psychic reality which lies beneath these verbal and visual anthropomorphisms. These transpersonal (and possible transpsychic) subjects, to whom we are objects, influence our individual and collective behaviour when they are constellated. They often dictate and expose themselves through the creative arts. Neither art nor life imitate one another but both simultaneously enact and personify the archetypes of the collective unconscious.
Matthew J. Anthony is not exactly a person. Strictly speaking, he is not even a noun, let alone male. He can be somewhat likened to a verb or, better yet, a perpetual being that inspires and compels one to act whilst simultaneously becoming the very act he sought to compel in the first place. Un-simply put, Matthew J. Anthony has always been, will always be, and is always, endlessly becoming. Matthew is undeniably male, unequivocally female and yet neither of these and yet both. He is eternally the home in which we live our lives together, where we beget each other's children and in whom death begets us just one better. Yet after we die, still he shall be; and before we were born, there he still was: Matthew the original, the completely commonplace, the immeasurably intelligent, trans-transgendered ape.
