Around You Musical ...just the nearness of you This tender sculpture of young lovers is now a Musical, playing Tchaikovsky's familiar "Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet". As the figures turn around each other, you get a different understanding of their shared feelings from every angle. The musical base is carved with a pattern of hearts and swirls, adding interest and elegance. ?I wanted to sculpt a young couple, finding romantic love ? the butterflies and uncertainty, the chemistry and electricity ? discovered when you?re in each other?s presence. I wanted the piece to be tender and intimate, elegant and quiet? Since the pose is derived from dance, I also wanted it to appear to have movement as you look at different angles. There are three touch points ? their fingers on both hands, and the tops of their heads. I like this bit of connection? the tingly excitement and shared energy that comes from moments together with a new love.? ?Susan Lordi Musicals are sculpture in motion!

Avoid water or cleaning solvents OUR STORY Willow Tree sculptural art forms beautifully express love, closeness, healing, courage, hope? all the emotions of a life well lived. Artist Susan Lordi hand carves the original of each figure from her studio in Kansas City Missouri. Pieces are cast from her original carvings, and individually painted by hand. Expression is revealed through gestures only? a tilt of the head, placement of the hands, a turn of the body. The simplicity of form and absence of facial features signify Willow Tree. It is Susan?s hope that these pieces be meaningful to both giver and receiver. ARTIST Susan Lordi Susan Lordi's artistic process is rather intuitive; she "sketches" in clay as she conceives, sculpts and carves each piece, always with a focus on gesture that speaks to the universal. By stripping down the essence of emotion to pure form, she opens the interpretation of each piece to the giver and the receiver. This one-of-a-kind approach to product creation makes her pieces truly individual... her hand, and her unique perspective, is evident in each sculpture.
