The UK needs more public art that confronts the major issues of the day, according to Joy Gregory, the award-winning artist who has just unveiled a new project at Heathrow airport inspired by more than 100 asylum seekers.

Gregory, who is known for her photographic work and won the £110,000 Freelands award recently, was commissioned by Transport for London (Tfl) to create 24 billboards mounted in the airport’s Terminal 4 underground station ticket hall.
