My Girls - 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 remember when my husband and daughter or son played, laughed and tumbled together on the rug...or when all the grandkids piled onto my dad's back for horse rides...those moments of spontaneous play, of cuddling, tickling, being present together , became the foundation for their close relationships throughout the years" - Susan Lordi. The item is made in cast stone and hand-painted with lead-free paint. Supplied in a branded gift box and a gift tag with sentiment 'We've only just begun...forever my little one'. Not a toy or children's product. Intended for adults only.

“This piece was directed by the models. The poses that the girls naturally assumed showed their relationship with their dad much better than I could have instructed them. Their father was the anchor — and the girls fluttered around him. I got a sense of how the girls saw him as strong and reassuring. They looked at him with a ‘my dad can do anything’ look. The dad was clearly having fun being with his daughters. I wanted to make this sculpture a two-way piece — the girls look to his strength and stability, and he looks to them as his greatest source of joy. I think the beauty of a good father/daughter relationship is in its duality. I hope the sentiment can be read from either perspective — father to daughters, or daughter to father”
