Who is Carder Jones?

When is

Carder Jones?

Carder Jones is a writer, thinker, and artistic architect whose work bends the boundaries between the surreal and the tangible, the philosophical and the absurd. A creator of worlds both visual and literary, he weaves narratives that challenge perception, distort familiarity, and pulls the reader into the spaces between meaning.

With a background spanning multimedia artwork, clinical genomics, bioinformatics, drug delivery systems, music production and audio engineering, his work is not just storytelling—it’s an exploration of identity, structure, and the nature of truth itself.

Carder Jones graduated with a Bachelor of Science in genetics from Clemson University, and later from Brown University with a Masters in Biotechnology. His research in graduate school led to a journal publication and a patent provision for microspheric drug delivery systems; through the development of an in vitro model which helped reduce animal testing within this space. The same journal he was published in – Small [DOI: 10.1002/ smll.202107559] – features an inside cover he designed for this work. One of his multimedia art pieces was accepted into the arts and sciences journal at Brown: Catalyst. The painting features the amino acid sequence DISC1 and its misfolded “structure” as a castle which is the believed protein misconfiguration that leads to schizophrenia. This DISC1 amino acid sequence was used as tablature for a score titled “New Rind New Soul” on the rock album Sanctity Through Madness by Carousailor.

It sounds as chaotic as you’d expect.

When not constructing intricate literary landscapes, Carder Jones can be found producing rock operas, leading and developing investigative tools for rare pediatric genetic disorders, and working on various artistic projects spanning sciences and humanities.

The Hereafter Wulff is his latest endeavor—a work that defies classification, much like its creator.
