Willow Tree Quiet Wonder, Sculpted Hand-Painted Figure

Details: TITLE: Quiet Wonder SENTIMENT: May quiet wonders bring you hope GIFT-GIVING SUGGESTIONS: A gift to yourself, or someone close to you, as a reminder of discoveries found in quiet moments when we are still and present. Perhaps a best wishes gift to a graduate about to start a new venture… or a hopeful piece for one facing a major decision. Or a reminder to marvel at the miracle of butterflies in nature! Willow Tree is a reminder of someone we want to keep close, or a memory we want to touch. Simplicity of form and the absence of facial features signify Willow Tree. Hand-carved figures reveal their expression through body gestures only... a tilt of the head, placement of the hands, a turn of the body. Since 1999, American artist Susan Lordi has worked in partnership with DEMDACO to produce, market and distribute Willow Tree, her line of carved figurative sculpture. From her studio in Kansas City, Lordi hand carves the original of each figure. This piece is cast from Lordi's original and painted by hand. Enclosed inside each fitted packaging box is a gift-giving card with piece title and sentiment on it. Each piece is intended to be open to interpretation from the viewer. "Willow Tree isn't so much about the tangible piece. It represents an emotion or it marks a memory." -Susan Lordi
