Willow Tree Figurine – Quest

Seek, explore, discover.

A gift for graduates, students, teachers, caregivers or to celebrate special accomplishments.

“Quest was inspired by my son, who is currently immersed in the research and documentation of other cultures. The idea of the figure is to portray that time in someone’s life when he finds something that he is passionately interested in – and begins to pursue it, independently, with no parental prodding. He’s ‘into it’. It’s the love of learning for learning’s sake. Quest represents when a young person (or really, any age person) is motivated by his own interests and goals. Quest could be a birthday gift or graduation gift, or a thank you gift to a teacher/mentor who may have sparked an interest in a young mind.” 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. 10cm high.
