About

Jordan Cassidy Anthony (b.1999) is a Durban based artist who recently completed her Bachelor of Art in Fine Art (Hons) at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. Her practice includes working with memory, healing and the self as part of an ongoing process in painting using intuitive self-expression as her main driving force in making. Anthony is influenced by her immediate physical and spiritual environment and draws from her interest in disciplines such as anthropology, archaeology, astronomy, visual cultures and the esoteric. She is currently focused on expanding her journey of healing by exploring different methodologies of self-location and making sense of the affect from cycles within human consciousness and their place in moving forward.
