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.
“I like the double meaning of the word 'gathering'... of materials to form into a wreath, or gathering together with friends and family. The wide, glossy green leaves of the magnolia tree are a nice change from the evergreen—to express welcome and appreciation.” —Susan Lordi
