This piece is inspired by the memory of holding my children when they were really tiny holding them so close that it involves all of your senses the scent of the fuzzy head against your cheek, the skin-to-skin warmth, the realization that you can love another being so very, very much. -- Susan Lordi

Ive learned as a mother, sister, daughter, wife, that the communication of touch can be very healing, not only for the receiver but for the giver. This piece can be about the feeling you get from holding and protecting a child, or the child can be a metaphor for someone or something youve loved that you want to hold onto and keep alive a person, a memory, a relationship. -- Susan Lordi

Brother and Sister The sentiment By my side alludes to the shared background we have with our siblings; the unspoken support and consistent presents that we often take for granted when we are children, but grow to appreciate as we age. It could also imply that regardless of where our sibling is, he or she is truly always by our side. Susan Lordi

I had been looking for the figure of a girl holding her brother--the title was: " He's not heavy, he's my brother."
I sent it to my best friend who had lost her little brother to cancer. She was overwhelmed by the gesture.

Child of My Heart Child of my Heart is a tall figurine of a woman holding a young child in her arms. The subtle implication of different hair and skin color is that the mother and child are not related by blood. The reference to adoption does not prevent his piece from being meaningful for any parent and child. As with all of Susans sculptures, the piece is totally open to interpretation. The child could have been adopted, or the woman could be the childs caregiver, godparent, birth mother, etc., but regardless, they share a strong love and bond. This piece was inspired by a good friend of Susans who is very involved with adoptions from Asia. The sentiment for the piece is actually a love poem to a child.

A chrysalis is the protective covering in which a caterpillar develops into a butterfly. This title is a metaphor for the relationship between a mother and her teen-age daughter a time of letting go, in support of emerging independence. A mothers first response is to protect her child. But the greater gift is to provide the love and trust that helps her daughter find wings to fly. The emphasis on this piece is on the daughter. Its her emerging, her transformation, her unfolding. The title is illustrative of this particular time of life. -- Susan Lordi
My sister just loved it. Her daughter is getting ready to leave for college. So now she has it sitting on top of her TV in the living room.

I learned to sew from my mother, and she learned from her mother and aunt. I wanted this piece to not only depict the process of learning, sharing and making, but also the creating of memories that are passed down with love through generations. I hope it resonates with anyone who has lovingly carried on a tradition within her family. -- Susan Lordi

I was thinking about the relationship between a mother and a son of about 9 or 10 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

The tenderness of the couples embrace, and their attentiveness to each other as well as their child, reflects the importance of parents providing a loving foundation on which children thrive and grow. This piece is an excellent gift for new parents. The open-ended name also makes it a good gift for adoptive parents, foster parents, and godparents and even young grandparents.
