Carving History
Andrew Currie (1812~1891) was more than just a gifted carver of large-scale monuments in stone and finely-wrought furniture in wood. He was also an enthusiastic antiquary, an oral historian, and a writer who penned colourful stories of life in the Borders of his youth. The son of an insolvent Selkirkshire sheep farmer, Andrew Currie was obliged against his will to take up a trade. He worked as a millwright until his mid forties, when his health broke. Only then did he become a sculptor, which had long been his dream. Despite his late start and the fact that he was completely self-taught, Andrew Currie managed to win prestigious public commissions in competition with much better qualified riv...

Given the renewed, urgent attacks in various western countries, the cottage industry of “death of multiculturalismâ€...
