Having seen bald eagles in Canada and the US, and then studied them at Batsford Falconry centre, Hamish was delighted to be commissioned to make this life size sculpture by an American collector.
It is to be mounted on a large granite boulder outdoors in front of the house with the estuary behind. Hamish took a scientific approach, having each feather laser cut for the complex armature. This detailed sculpture has a wonderful feeling of flight as the bird banks around. Possibly one of Hamish‘s most dynamic sculptures to date.
