Artist scales new heights

ARTIST Tessa Lynch climbs around at the Edinburgh International Climbing Arena as she attempts to visually represent the qualities of a diamond through performance art.

The latest project, Alexandrite, uses performance to represent the qualities of the diamond of the same name, which shines green in daylight and red in incandescent light.

The performance for Collective Gallery has been devised through a series of workshops run by the artist and attended by the performers.

The performers are members of the EICA audience and Collective's audience.
