Central Station: Mhairi Sharp

Our showcase of up-and-coming young talent in association with Central Station focuses on the work of Mhairi Sharp, currently in her final year studying sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art. Her physical objects, text-based works, photography and found objects explore nostalgia for 80s football casuals and terrace culture, in particular the fashion of this sub-culture. Mhairi says of her work: ‘I strive to provoke reflection and pay tribute to this lesser know sub-culture to which football and fashion mattered more, than corporate hospitality and sanitised stadia … I am able to move my work both inside and outside of the gallery environment; allowing my work to be viewed by different audiences.’
