Product Description
Message: "Seek, explore, discover."
"Quest was inspired by my son. The idea of the piece is to portray the natural curiosity and exploration that leads young people to develop passionate interests and goals - the independent pursuit of learning - with no parental prodding. It's the love of learning for learning's sake. As a parent, I think it can be inspiring to watch the process of self-discovery unfold. Quest could be a birthday gift, graduation gift, new job or retiree gift, or a thank you to a teacher/mentor who may have sparked an interest in a curious mind."

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.
