Willow Tree Heart 2024, Favorite Memories Kept Close, Engraved Year, an Expression of Love and Caring, Commemorate Weddings, Graduations, Births, Sculpted Hand-Painted Figure

TITLE: 2024 Dated SENTIMENT: Favorite memories kept close GIFT-GIVING SUGGESTIONS: An expression of love and caring…or a gift to express sympathy, comfort and healing... Willow Tree is a reminder of someone we want to keep close, or a memory we want to touch. 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
