A STUDENT has created four pieces of art for her local accident and emergency unit.

The work by Helen Whitehead, from King James High School, in Knaresborough, will be installed in Harrogate District Hospital.

The collages are made from fabric, cord, wool - and even old tea bags. Each piece represents a season.

The artwork has taken about six months to complete.

Dr Bill Hulse, consultant in emergency medicine, said: "We are delighted with these new pieces of artwork, which will make a great and positive impact on the environment in the accident and emergency department for both our staff and patients."
