I am glad you have enjoyed looking at the sculptures on the web site. You are right - it is amazing that Ronald Rae can bring alive this ancient stone that is 460 million years old, exposing the tiger within. He himself does not know how it happens and calls it a miracle. There is no doubt it is determined by his dialogue with the stone in the quarry followed by his skill using hand tools and moreover that he puts his heart and soul into every work.

I think one could spend many hours just looking at and feeling these stones, several of which I had not seen before. I am glad to be able to see their images here. How anyone is able to take what is hidden in the massive stone, and express themselves so vividly with it, is always something that has amazed me about Ronald Rae's work.
