Mary Redmond lives and works in Glasgow.

Student of Glasgow School of Art’s, Environmental Art Dept. Graduated 1994; M.F.A. G.S.A. 1998 - 2001

My practice is rooted by my education in the Environmental Art Department taught by forward thinking, socialist David Harding who encouraged us young students out of the studio and into the real world to make art. He informed us of John Latham - APG, Nancy Holt, Robert Smithson.  We collaborated with architecture students and informed each other on our methods and aims. He believed in artists being involved in projects from the conception and partaking in the design and creative process, asking questions and looking for opportunities to make art integral.

In 2021 I gained long term permission for “The Verge” outdoor site and in 2022 created Clydside Garden with Kate Drummond.

In 2018 I was commissioned by Hospitalfield Arts to create a large scale sculptural installation for their walled garden. I have presented solo exhibitions at Platform, Glasgow in 2014; The Modern Institute, Glasgow in 2012, Dundee Contemporary Arts in 2010 and Talbot Rice Gallery in Edinburgh in 2005. Over the last ten years have been part of major group shows including Undone: Making and Unmaking in Contemporary Sculpture, Henry Moore Institute, Leeds; Studio 58: Women Artists in Glasgow Since WWII, Mackintosh Museum, Glasgow School of Art; and Bold Tendencies Sculpture Project 6, Peckham where I made an expansive installation within multi-story car park. Mary has shown regularly internationally, including at The Clay and Glass Museum, Ontario in 2014; Neues Museum, Nuremberg in 2013; and Kunsthall Oslo in 2010.

In 2009 I received a Paul Hamlyn award for artists and have had numerous awards from Creative Scotland to support her practice.
