Biography

Bond was born in Canada and raised in Oregon. [8] She reports that she had been drawing and recognized for her art since she was in kindergarten. [1] Bond graduated from Portland State University (PSU) with a bachelor's degree in 1971 and later with a master's degree in education in 1976. [7] Bond struggled with making her creative visions a reality while she was in college, and believed that teaching art was the only way she could make a living. [1] Later, she received a masters of fine arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she studied experimental film-making. [7]

On September 18, 2001, Bond created and registered a business for her animations in Oregon under the name Rose Bond Moving Pictures. [9]

Currently, Bond teaches at the Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA) in Portland, Oregon, where she is an associate professor and a lead faculty in Animated Arts. [6]

Work

Bond started out using traditional methods of creating animation with flipbooks and inking by hand. [1] [10] Later she began to experiment with using computers. [1] She uses digital tablets, like those made by Wacom, to teach her students at PNCA. [11] Her current work is mainly public art featuring site-specific animations which use a combination of hand-drawn and digital art. [2]

Bond's earlier films deal with feminist issues, questioning whether one gender should rule over another through the medium of animated Irish legends. [1] In these stories (Deirdre's Choice, Macha's Curse and Cerridwen's Gift), based on figures from Irish legends, Bond painted directly onto clear 35 mm film to create the effect of animation. [12] Her hand-drawn and hand-painted images for these films were considered dramatic by reviewer, Wendy Jackson, who also felt that Bond's choice of heroines showed a "feminist sensibility." [13]

Bond's first animation installation was staged in 2002 in Portland, using the historic Seamen's Bethel Building. [14] Her installation work "challenges people to think about how they perceive time, space, and memory." [15] [16] When beginning a new animation projection, Bond researches the history of the building and incorporates it into the projection. [17] [18] She visits each spot where she will be creating an installation, exploring the buildings and gleaning interesting historical facts to use in her animations. [19] In Broadsided!, her animation commissioned by the Exeter Arts Council for Exeter Castle, Bond discovered the story of a man who was hung for stealing sheep which she uses in her animated story. [2]

One of her most shown installations, Intra Muros (2007), was shown at the first Platform Animation Festival in Portland and consists of projected animations in the windows that loop every eight minutes. [3] Intra Muros invites viewers to wonder what is going on in the spaces they cannot see. [3] Bond's installation, Gates of Light, reached audiences that were not familiar with experimental film. [16] Bond's projected animations also have the unique capacity to turn the mundane building people see everyday into something special and to challenge with her work, a viewer's "sense of familiarity." [20] Bond is excited about the potential for animation to change the "cultural landscape." [8]
