Christopher T. Ray

1937 - 2000

"I have plenty of patience and all the time in the world left to me to continue with this. I hope that those interested would be patient as well, if nothing suitable is found when visiting this site. Bit by bit it will accumulate a variety of information, programs and content relating to a broad range of media." It is with great sadness that I report that "all the time left in the world" was not long enough for Chris Ray to realize his vision for this site and others that Chris was developing. A patient and generous teacher, he will be missed dearly by those whose lives he touched. This web site is being preserved almost as Chris left it, and features archival images of his sculpture along with mini-workshops, digital imagery, poetry and other musings. It is gratifying to witness the continued interest in the work of Chris Ray, and to know that this site continues to be a useful resource for sculptors and sculpture enthusiasts. Please be aware, however, that without Christopher's expertise, many inquiries cannot be answered. If you have any questions about sculpture, techniques, or artists, please see the links page of this site or search the web for other metalworking resources. - Jorey Bump, Web Site Project
