My Girls
Willow Tree, My Girls, Mine piger. Højde: 20.5 cm, bredde: 8,5 cm & dybde: 7,5 cm.
Når jeg ser på dig, ser jeg undren, glæde og styrke. En far med hans to piger. Der er ingen tvivl om at de to piger finder styrke og tryghed hos deres far, til gengæld ser han en livsglæde og verden på en helt ny måde gennem deres øjne. En stærk og smuk figur, der taler til de fleste. Selvfølgelig en oplagt gaveide til en far med to døtre.
Figurerne bliver alle leveret i original Willow Tree gaveæske, i gaveæske medfølge en kort beskrivelse af figuren.
“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.” —Susan Lordi
Willow Tree® er en intim serie af figurative skulpturer, der taler til, på stille måder at helbrede, trøste, beskytte og inspirere. Kunstneren Susan Lordi håndskærer originalen af hver figur fra hendes studie i Kansas City Missouri. Figurerne er efterfølgende støbt fra hendes originale udskæringer og individuelt malet i hånden. Udtryk afsløres kun ved bevægelser ... en hældning af hovedet, placering af hænderne, en drejning af kroppen. Enkelheden i form og fravær af ansigtstræk betegner Willow Tree. Det er Susans håb, at disse figurer er meningsfulde for både giver og modtager.
