Tessa Lynch  - b. 1984, Surrey. Lives and works in Glasgow.

My work, which consists of sculpture, print and performance, is designed to offer feminist readings of the city, highlighting issues of social reproduction that are at odds with contemporary art. Works are often created on an ambitious scale; the gallery space acting as a city brownfield site, ripe for new development.

Research is carried out in a participatory fashion, often collaborating with community groups, architects and writers.
