Product Description
My Girls Message: Looking at you, I see wonder, joy, strength
Embodying strength and protection, a father looks on with pride and wonder as his daughters' personalities emerge. Daughters look to their fathers for stability and reassurance. Their different gestures reveal their joyful relationship. The sentiment and sculpture are designed to be viewed from either perspective, making this gift equally meaningful from daughters to father, or father to daughters.
"This piece was directed by the models. The poses that the girls naturally assumed showed their relationship with their dad much better than I could have instructed them. Their father was the anchor-the girls fluttered around him. I got a sense of how the girls saw him as strong and reassuring. They looked at him with a "my dad can do anything" look. The dad was clearly having fun being with his daughters. I wanted to make this a two-way piece-the girls look to his strength and stability, and he looks to them as his greatest source of joy. I think the beauty of a good father/daughter relationship is in its duality. I hope the sentiment can be read from either perspective -father to daughters, or daughter to father." - Susan Lordi

About the Author
Willow Tree is an intimate, personal line of figurative sculptures representing qualities and sentiments that help us feel close to others, heal wounds, or treasure relationships. Susan Lordi carves each original piece with this thought in mind. Her figures continue to evolve as she identifies emotions so important for us to convey, and renders them in simple, pure gestures. These art forms beautifully express love, closeness, healing, courage, hope… all the emotions of a life well lived.
The name Willow Tree was chosen to symbolize that which is gestural and beckoning. The figures are columnar in design, like a tree, and often carry natural objects or animals as metaphors for human virtues or qualities… rosemary for remembrance, a bird for healing, flowers for beauty.
The sculptures are rendered so as to suggest elegance, simplicity, peace and serenity. Forms reveal their expressions through body gestures only… a tilt of the head, placement of the hands, a turn of the body. Emotions are left to the viewer to discern, which makes them personal and powerful. Willow Tree is an understated line that speaks in a compelling way.
