A public artwork by Turner Prize nominee Mark Titchner has been installed at the new Cambridge South railway station ahead of its opening on 28 June.

The piece, called Together We, has been fitted to the station's stairway balustrades and explores themes of movement, connection and community.

Titchner, who was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2006, drew inspiration from physician William Harvey, a former University of Cambridge student who was the first to identify the circulation of blood around the body.

The artwork was commissioned by GBR Anglia and the station project team, with Network Rail saying it reflects both human circulatory systems and the movement of people through transport networks.

Titchner said he hopes the installation will offer travellers "moments of reflection" during their journeys.

As part of the project, the artist will also work with pupils at three Cambridge primary schools to create posters inspired by the artwork.

Cambridge South station, next to Addenbrooke's Hospital and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, will become the city's third railway station when it opens later this month.
