Artists were asked to base their work on the theme of Hull’s maritime ‘Past, Present and Future’. Old abandoned mechanical grabs link the past and future of the site. The bottom grab is closed, welded shut; keeping its history intact. The second grab, open, and no longer rusted shut, once a symbol of industry, now represents the dock’s future. The work was made with Hull School of Art and Design.
