‘Hold Dear the Promise of Love’ Willow Tree

Willow Tree is an intimate line of figurative sculptures representing sentiments of love, closeness, healing, courage, hope…all the emotions we encounter in life. “I carved this piece so that it could be viewed ‘in the round’. You get a different understanding depending on how you turn the piece. If you view from the side where you can see the man and woman’s arms around each other, it looks like they’re kissing. If you turn it and view it from where you can see their faces and clasped hands, it looks like they’re dancing – and it’s a totally different piece. I like this duality of interpretation.” – Susan Lordi.
