Aja Rose Bond is a sound artist/noise musician, collective organizer, fashion designer and visual artist.  She also works closely with children and adults with physical and developmental disabilities, care-giving and facilitating art and music through a not-for-profit organization.

Her visual art practice includes drawing, painting and printmaking but is primarily based in textile sculpture and draws from aspects of craft, fashion, feminism, abstraction and mysticism.  While at once being a political statement and an economic necessity, the use of found and reclaimed materials is instrumental to her understanding of the subtle life within objects.  She is especially drawn to the use of fabric that has been worn on the body, as well as salvaged fur and leather, because of their inherent and tangible past-lives.  Her intimate relationship with occult traditions, specifically witchcraft, has deeply informed her process which includes the use of divination, symbols and geometry. It is an almost completely intuitive – albeit intentional – approach wherein conceptual analysis reveals itself lastly, if at all.

She is self-taught with the exception of some formal training in fashion arts and contemporary music.  Her other projects and collaborations include; Her Jazz Noise Collective, UNARC (Underground Network of Artist-Run Culture), WOEVAN (Witches of East Van), Seamrippers Craft Collective, Diadem (w/ her husband, GMS of Yellow Swans), In Flux (w/members of Shearing Pinx), DJ Tapes and the Women’s Studies performance series co-produced w/VIVO Media Arts Center. She lives in Vancouver.
