Looking at you, I see wonder, joy, strength.
âThis 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 â and 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 âmy dad can do anythingâ look. The dad was clearly having fun being with his daughters. I wanted to make this sculpture a two-way piece â 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 â father to daughters, or daughter to father.â âSusan Lordi
A gift to celebrate the loving relationships that develop between parent and children.
About Willow Tree
Willow Tree sculptural art forms beautifully express love, closeness, healing, courage, hope⦠all the emotions of a life well lived. 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 Susanâs hope that these pieces be meaningful to both giver and receiver.
