Featured Willow Tree Figurine

Guardian
Love and protect thee, forever
Introduced Summer 2008

“Guardian represents the overwhelming feelings of
motherhood, and the desire to protect your new baby
forever. This figurine could be a symbol of the tremendous
love a mother experiences when holding her new child, or
could suggest a guardian spirit of protection over a child.
She might also be comforting to someone who has lost a
child; a reminder of the love and caring a mother always
feels, regardless of where her child is. I used the word
‘thee’ in the sentiment as an intimate way of talking to an
infant. I think the word has a poetic sound and shows
reverence and tenderness. It’s a little word reserved for
someone you love.”
-Susan Lordi

The original inspiration for Willow Tree still holds true today: Willow
Tree is an intimate, personal line of figurative sculptures representing
qualities and sentiments that help us feel close to others, heal wounds, or
treasure relationships to living things. Artist Susan Lordi hand-carves each
original piece with this thought in mind. Her figures continue to evolve as
she identifies emotions so important for us to convey, and renders them in
simple, pure gestures. These art forms beautifully express love, closeness,
healing, courage, hope...all the emotions of a life well lived.

The name Willow Tree was chosen to symbolize that which is gestural and
beckoning. The figures are columnar in design, like a tree, and often carry
natural objects or animals as metaphors for human virtues or
qualities...rosemary for remembrance, a bird for healing, flowers for
beauty.

The sculptures are rendered so as to suggest elegance, simplicity, peace
and serenity. Forms reveal their expressions through body gestures only...a
tilt of the head, placement of the hands, a turn of the body. Emotions are
left to the viewer to discern, which makes them personal and powerful.

Willow Tree is an understated line that speaks in a compelling and
powerful way.
