Ry Williams, a self-described 'dinosaur erection specialist', found his niche in dinosaur mounting after meeting fossil collector Terry Ciotka at a birthday celebration. His welding expertise led him to create intricate fossil exhibits worldwide, including his most notable work, 'Bygones', which depicts a T-Rex engaging with a triceratops over tea. Williams dedicated over three years to ensure the dinosaurs' positions and movements were realistic, aiming for authenticity in their portrayals. His unique artistic vision challenges conventional dinosaur representations and pushes the boundaries of exhibit design.
"I went to a birthday party ten years ago, and now I'm cleaning and mounting dinosaur bones... Terry said the [number one] thing he needed to find was a welder, and here I was..."
"The finished mounts are within the range of how their arms, legs, and tails could actually move... I didn't want them to look like they were in outer space. They needed to look real."
