Ilona Sagar’s  practice explores a language of performance, film and assemblage that is focused on the intangible fragments of human relations. As a recent graduate of  Goldsmiths College London (Hons) Fine Art (Studio Practice and Contemporary Critical Studies), she has developed an articulate interest in the manipulation of a material language and in turn, what this may convey to an audience. Her work often uses the processes involved in making, to construct a fractured sense of narrative.  Illusion and material [dis]honesty set the stage for works that seek to seduce, alluding to something familiar yet other.  This sense of duplicity is apparent in the unexpected use of cheap materials such as plaster, plywood, spray paint and sand which are used to dramatic effect. These methods are used to develop a transient reality that is mediated through the established forms of institutional communication, such as the museum, the civic space, the church and the theatre.
