Willow Tree - Nurture

Sentiment: Protecting that which we love Colour(s): Wooden appearance Material(s): Resin Measurement(s): Height 14 cm Artist: Susan Lordi The gesture of this figure is caring and protective. The small baby bluebird could be a metaphor for something precious—perhaps someone we love, perhaps our environment, perhaps our own inner happiness… Willow Tree® is an intimate line of figurative sculptures that speak in quiet ways to heal, comfort, protect and inspire. Artist Susan Lordi hand carves the original of each figure from her studio in Kansas City Missouri. Pieces are cast from her original carvings, and individually painted by hand. Expression is revealed through gestures only… a tilt of the head, placement of the hands, a turn of the body. The simplicity of form and absence of facial features signify Willow Tree. It is Susan’s hope that these pieces be meaningful to both giver and receiver.
