Peregrine Falcons are the fastest animals in the world. Due to their aerodynamic shape, they can reach diving speeds of 390 km/h. The B-2 Bomber was designed taking inspiration direct from the form a falcon takes whilst in a dive. This speed, alongside their trainability, has made them one of the most popular birds among Falconry enthusiasts world wide.

Knox was commissioned to create this piece in early 2024, a challenge he relished. With a research trip to The falconry School in Gloucester run by the brilliant Ben Long, Knox commenced creating his Peregrine falcon perched on a gauntlet sculpture. It was his aim to create a piece that was true to life, not only in representation, but in the actions and dynamics of the scene. With Ben's advice ever present in his mind, Knox composed the armature for his sculpture and got to work.
