Man with Potential Selves, Newcastle upon Tyne

English: Man with Potential Selves is a piece of public art in the city of Newcastle upon Tyne consisting of three statues, dubbed by sculptor Sean Henry as Standing Man, Walking Man and Floating Man. They are meant to represent three aspects or alter egos of the same man, based on no-one in particular, rather symbolising an Everyman character, or the working men of the city. They are sited along the length of the SSW-NNE running Lower Grainger Street on its east side, on the route north from Newcastle Central Station to Grey's Monument in the city centre.
