Willow Tree Couples | Anniversary

I Sculpted This Piece Using My Parents As Models. When I Asked Them To Sit Down And Get Comfortable, They Just Seemed To Fit Together So Perfectly. It Was Such A Self-Directed Pose, As Though They’Ve Been Doing It For Years — And They Have! They Celebrated Their 60Th Wedding Anniversary In 2011. The Carving On The Back Is A Little Added Discovery …. ‘I Love Thee’. I Like The Sound Of The Word ‘Thee’. It Feels Poetic And Intimate To Me.” –Susan Lordi
