Marc Renshaw is based in Barton upon Humber, Eastern
'Bayerns', 'Tranquilayers', 'Delta' and 'Olby' may sound like international football teams but in fact belong to a fictional super league. When aged six, Renshaw developed an interest in producing league tables and statistics. These autonomous lists and complex sketches such as ‘Sporting City‘ reflect a lifelong archive of hopes, fears and ambitions based on the rules of 'the beautiful game'.
