Art commemorates new university

An artwork by a foundation student has been unveiled to mark the inaugural year of a Surrey university.

University of the Creative Arts Vice Chancellor Prof Elaine Thomas and Epsom and Ewell MP Chris Grayling unveiled the piece by Laura-Jade Holloway.

Ms Holloway won a £200 prize for the performance art, which joined students and staff in a human chain.

The performance was photographed and filmed and a display created for the university's reception area in Epsom.

"Laura's art work is about the power and strength of working together, I think that's a very positive message," said Mr Grayling.

"It's great having seen the university develop from an art college to a full university today."

The University for the Creative Arts has campuses at Canterbury, Maidstone and Rochester in Kent and Epsom and Farnham in Surrey.
