ANTONY SZMIEREK

Antony Szmierek has always believed in signs from the universe. He’s the kind of person to see a crisp packet float by and takes it as a message to text his ex. One of these came in the form of a heron nesting along the banks of the Mersey that he revisited for years. Antony saw himself in the bird: a creature of two worlds, caught between water and land, just as he found himself between his ordinary Manchester life and newfound public attention.
