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.
“My Guy is carved to the same scale as other family figures, in particular the seated children. A gift to represent a spouse, father, adult son, brother, or other person important in your life. His posture and downward gaze creates an engagement with other pieces, so that he becomes an integral part of Family Groupings.” —Susan Lordi
