Catalogue Note
“I find that the hare is a rich and expressive form that can carry the conventions of the cartoon and the attributes of the human into the animal world. So I use the hare as a surrogate or as a vehicle to entertain in a way.” The artist in conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist, in Exhibition Catalogue, Dublin, Irish Museum of Modern Art; City Art Gallery, Barry Flanagan: Sculptures 1965-2005, 2006, p. 65
