Background
History
's Quantum Cloud, also part of The Line, in the background]] Created in 2008, Hume modelled Liberty Grip in three discrete sections using the arm of a mannequin as a template, and it was exhibited at White Cube gallery in Bermondsey, London in 2013. In describing the work, the gallery said "Hume ... positioned the three arms into an evocative group of forms that suggests both a bundle of limbs or a contorted hand." an art project distributed along a 3 miles route following some of London's waterways between Stratford and North Greenwich. The route opened in 2015. The five Greenwich elements of The Line also form part of an art trail across the Greenwich Peninsula.
