Susan Lordi's artistic process is rather intuitive; she "sketches" in clay as she conceives, sculpts and carves each piece, always with a focus on gesture that speaks to the universal. By stripping down the essence of emotion to pure form, she opens the interpretation of each piece to the giver and the receiver. This one-of-a-kind approach to product creation makes her pieces truly individual... her hand, and her unique perspective, is evident in each sculpture.
“A puppy brings joy, exuberance and a bit of chaos into the household at first, then mellows over time to become a companion, a playmate, a confidante; always happy to see us, never tiring of our presence. As a metaphor for friendship, a dog represents the trust and comfort of a good friend, and how this relationship grows in value through the years.” —Susan Lordi
