Willow Tree Figurine – Kindness Girl (Lighter Skin)

Above all, kindness.

I really like the simplicity and truth of this sentiment, Above all, kindness. Kindness is a virtue that gives us so much reward, and one we aspire to. The animal that the child holds can be metaphorical (who better to teach us about kindness than animals?) or the figure can simply represent a loving relationship with a pet.

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. 3″H x 2.5″W x 2″D.
