Liberty Grip was positioned here for the 2015 opening of 'The Line', an art trail between Stratford and North Greenwich. Previously the sculpture by Gary Hume had been on display at the White Cube Gallery in nearby Bermondsey. It is based on three mannequin arms.

British artist Gary Hume (b.1962) modelled this sculpture in three separate sections, each based on the arm of a store mannequin. The result is a sculpture of the human form caught between representation and abstraction. To further blur these boundaries, Hume cast the sculpture in bronze on a monumental scale, alluding to traditional commemorative sculpture, which he then contrasts mischievously with the candy-pink patina at the end of each limb.
