Willow Tree Figurine – Angel Of Mine

So loved, so very loved.

This piece is inspired by the memory of holding my children when they were really tiny … holding them so close that it involves all of your senses … the scent of the fuzzy head against your cheek, the skin-to-skin warmth, the realization that you can love another being so very, very much. I wanted to capture that sensory memory that every mother has from when she held her newborn infant — an innermost quiet joy. The sentiment has a lullaby feel to it.”
Susan Lordi

Willow Tree is an intimate, personal line of hand carved sculptures. Each represents a quality or sentiment that helps us feel close to others, heal wounds, or treasure relationships to living things. Expression is revealed through gestures only… a tilt of the head, placement of the hands, a turn of the body. Each piece is cast from the artist’s (Susan Lordi) original carving and then painted by hand. Susan says, “I try to keep the interpretation of Willow Tree open. I hope this makes it more personal, and allows the viewer to decide its meaning.”

Resin, hand painted. 22cm high.
