Willow Tree Hug (dark dog), sculpted hand-painted Keepsake Box

TITLE: Hug Keepsake Box (dark dog) SENTIMENT: A boundless love DESCRIPTION: Keepsake Boxes are small, sweet places to keep treasures. Hand-painted bas-relief lids are not attached. Inside, the bottom of each box reveals a message of comfort and love as a hidden discovery. 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
