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.
“Sometimes we see something, and it evokes a feeling, a memory, a presence of one we miss. For some, seeing a cardinal in the backyard, so brilliantly red against winter sky and tree silhouette, signifies the spirit of one much loved. Birds are the perfect messengers; metaphors of hope and light… a little comforting connection point, bringing us closer to someone far away.” —Susan Lordi
