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 word Sanctuary. I’m thinking of it as a safe warm space that mother and baby create by being together, quiet, peaceful. The baby feels safe and happy, and the mother is too. They’re connected… content to be in a place of inner peace and joy. This can be a Guardian Angel piece as well, suggesting that your baby is being watched over, protected, and cradled in a loving embrace. In this way, Sanctuary can be a healing piece.” —Susan Lordi
