The fruits of three years’ worth of painting, designing, snapping and animating came to life this week for graduates.

Kingston University’s art, design and architecture undergraduate degree show, which ends today (Friday, June 10) showed a range of intriguing pieces, including street furniture shrunk down to 1/25 of its normal size.

Visitors have also had the chance to see a new take on the humble vacuum cleaner, a radio station that has operated out of a garden shed for the past three years, and a solution to lost car keys.

Inge Jacobsen produced cross-stitch tapestries of Vogue magazine covers, spending 50 hours on each one.

She said: “I've taken something that is mass-produced and turned it into something that is unique and individual.” Ben Fursdon came up with the idea of a composting device to fit on flat balconies, complete with worms to produce liquid from composted waste, to use on home-grown produce.

Another student produced finger food – quite literally – by baking biscuits and brownies with finger holes in to limit mess.

Doctor Simon Ofield-Kerr, dean of the faculty of art, design and architecture, said: “Our students are producing challenging and remarkable work.

“The next generation of creative practitioners is working towards a better world tomorrow - more stimulating, more effective and much more fun."
