Mother and Child
Carved in a beautiful pink granite from Corrennie quarry in Aberdeenshire the stone is 460 million years old. This gentle work epitomises motherhood, the mother bent over her child like a protective shield. It is interesting to note that when it rains the baby’s head doesn’t get wet.
This sculpture has been on private loan for the past two years. It is once again available.

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.

Flight into Egypt
This sculpture is titled after the Holy Family showing Mary holding baby Jesus with Joseph at the other side of the stone. It is also a metaphor for all families who are dispossessed today. A mother tenderly holds her child in her arms while the father at the other side of the stone protects them. His naked torso depicts their vulnerability.
