"It's the little things that make a big difference"
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.
“It’s the little things we do that make a big difference… This figure holds a native milkweed plant, destined for her garden. Milkweed is the only host plant for the miraculous monarch butterfly. Small acts have a big impact. By planting native species that our birds, bees and butterflies need to survive, we’re doing a little thing to help heal nature. And in so doing, nature heals us with its bounty.” –Susan Lordi
