Willow Tree Mother and Son

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 was thinking about the relationship between a mother and a son of about nine or ten - that certain age when boys start fiercely asserting their independence - and resisting hugs and kisses from their mothers. And yet, at the same time, secretly needing and wanting them. I wanted this sculpture to express that push and pull. Liking the touch but at the same time, pulling away." - Susan Lordi.
