The core of Anthony Ynohtna's work delves into the relationship between art and its therapeutic benefits regarding the effects of trauma, mental health and wellbeing. Through a multidisciplinary approach to practice, incorporating drawing and lens based media, acting as visual outlets for expression, reflection and self-therapy.
The emphasis on lens based media enables connections between representational concepts of site with emotion, absence and presence, and the re-searching of individual and collective memories. These narrative threads enable him to explore the relationship between landscape, identity and portraiture. His work often juxtaposes the natural and man-made environments, creating works that border reality and the state of limbo.
