bones tan jones (b.93 Liverpool) is a queer heretic whose work traverses materials, disciplines and time lines.

raised in a church choir in the northwest of the UK, on the borderlands of mythical Wales and enchanted England, tan jones’s work has ne'er strayed far from the ecclesiastic rituals of worship, only in tan jones’s world, the church has been burnt, the yew trees thrive in the ashes, and god is trans.


bones tan jones presents their living praxis ‘optimystic dystopia’ as a spiritual practice. an eternal storyteller, alternative realities are explored through alter egos, retellings of ancient Chinese and Celtic mythologies through creating;

symphonies/operas/psalms/triptychs/sigils/stele/charms/amulets/installations/interventions/inter-active workshops.


remaining open, so the ancestors can speak through, bones has collaborated with the ghosts of dead artists, unknowingly channelled ancient seal script inscriptions of their families’ clan symbol, and sung many a lullaby in the belly of trees thousands of years on this land.

this, is the work. this, is the way.

all tools, souvenirs and tales collected on the way are offered up to you, as an art, of sorts.



YaYa Bones is a musical alter ego. in another timeline, YYBNS (alternative spelling) is a chart topping pop star on the dark web, whose timbre ranges from selling out stadium shows full of d0xxed warlocks in hiding, to refereeing at underground HRT fight rings.


Pondfloor is a musical collaboration with Magda Onatra.
