Willow Tree Figurine - Mother and Son

"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. Features: Figurine - Mother and Son "Celebrating the bond of love between mothers and sons". Pieces are cast from Susan Lordi's original carving, then individually painted by hand. Forms reveal their expressions through body gestures only.
