Ilona Gaynor

INFO

about me.

• Ilona Gaynor (1986) is a designer, image maker interested in exploring
  the different ways in which to tell a compelling story.


• Narratives can create the comfortable illusion of structure in chaotic
  worlds that are unfamiliar to us. My work largely consists of artificially
  constructed spaces, systems and atmospheres navigated through fictional
  scenarios as a means with which to intensify, fantasise and aestheticise
  the darker, invisible reaches of political, economical and technological
  progress. Grounded in rigorous research, consultation and collaboration,
  my aim is to reveal these worlds by exploring the imaginary limits
  within them both as critique and speculative pleasure.


• Ilona is a recent graduate of the Design Interactions MA course at the
  Royal College of Art, she also holds a first class BA in Moving Image Design
  from Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication in London. She has
  worked professionally for some of the worlds most prestigious design agencies
  including IDEO, Imagination and United Visual Artists. Her work has been
  recognised internationally through various awards and publications including
  D&AD, Blueprint Magazine, We Make Money Not Art, PromaxBda, Creative Review
  and the Oxford University Press. She is also the winner of The Ridley Scott
  Associates award, artist in residence for 2011/12.
