Growing up on a farm in Cornwall, it is perhaps no surprise that Hamish is often inspired to sculpt cattle. He is drawn to them because their musculature is well-defined – perfect for his method of creating an anatomical skeleton first, on which his wildlife sculptures are then built up.

This magnificent bronze sculpture of a Bull Head is impressive enough in its size, measuring nearly 2 meters tall. In this highly textural piece, Hamish has captured both the immense power and the spirited character of the beast. Visually striking, the Bull Head sculpture would lend dramatic impact to a large, light interior or provide a stunning focal point to an outdoor space.

Over the years bull heads have been a generic feature of my work. I sculpted this bull from the back of my trailer, inside a barn, where the bull was being kept during the freezing winter. It took about a week to sculpt. He was a great model!

    Cattle Sculptures by Hamish Mackie

    Last year when I was in the Dordogne, I took the opportunity to visit the incredible cave paintings at Lascaux near Montignac. I was blown away by these prehistoric depictions of wildlife - 17,000 years old. Man has been recording the animals around him since time began and I felt so gratified to be continuing in this tradition.

    A Snowy Start to 2021 and New Sculptures

    The year got off to a snowy start! I quite enjoy a good sprinkling of the white stuff. It turns the garden into a playground for a while! I also enjoy how it casts my sculptures in a new light, transforming the way they look outdoors. We had some fun trying to make snow sculptures too.
