The Upstairs Basement


Mary Redmond

“Bolted“
Opens Sat 3rd October
Exhibition opening event 2-4pm


This new work relates to the artist’s experience growing up during the aftermath of the collapse of industry in Glasgow, and the derelict landscapes that were prevalent in the city during this time. She draws on the use of hand skills and other methods of production that the working classes were engaged in during this period, to produce the work.

The work consists of a series of sculptures, textile pieces and drawings. 

Mary Redmond is a graduate of the Environmental Art course at Glasgow School of Art, and was taught by David Harding, who knew George Wyllie both personally and professionally.

Mary was a recipient of a Paul Hamlyn award and has shown at the Henry Moore Institute, Neues Museum, Nuremberg and Glasgow School of Art. 

The production of this new work has been support by Creative Scotland.
