Boy with Calf
A poetic and dynamic work of a boy leaning over a calf. On the other side of the stone he pulls a blanket up to his face, perhaps in remorse for the past. Rae does not plan his sculptures – he just carves what is within each stone. He says it is a mystery.
Carved in Creetown silver-grey granite which is 391 million years old.

This poignant memorial is a requiem for all the animals that have died in wars, in particular horses that died in their millions in World War 1. The soldier in the sculpture with half an arm missing and wearing a gas mask is also a reference to the horrors of chemical warfare.
