Hamish has returned to one of his favourite subjects with this extraordinary Boxing Hares sculpture.
“In this sculpture I wanted to capture a fleeting moment, to express the strength and agility of the hares as they box. I kept thinking about Mohammed Ali’s catchphrase ‘float like a butterfly, sting like a bee’ which sums up perfectly the spirit of boxing hares.” (HM)
Hamish’s bronze hare sculpture composition has an angular, almost choreographed, symmetry that lends it a balletic air. His sculpture freezes a specific moment in time while conveying all the passion and dynamic movement of March hares boxing in the fields in Spring.
