Willow Tree inspirational gifts communicate beyond words speaking in quiet ways of deep emotion. These figurative sculptures speak in quiet ways of deep emotion created by artist and sculptor Susan Lordi under the brand name of Willow Tree for Demdaco.
The name Willow Tree was chosen to symbolize that which is gestural and beckoning. The figures are columnar in design, like a tree, and often carry natural objects or animals as metaphors for human virtues or qualities... rosemary for remembrance, a bird for healing, flowers for beauty.
The sculptures are rendered so as to suggest elegance, simplicity, peace and serenity. Forms reveal their expressions through body gestures only... a tilt of the head, placement of the hands, a turn of the body. Emotions are left to the viewer to discern, which makes them personal and powerful. Willow Tree is an understated line that speaks in a compelling way.
The Willow Tree collection includes figurines, hanging ornaments, photo frames, keep sake boxes and seasonal nativity pieces which are quite distinctive from other ranges of gifts. The hallmark angel figures and other models are instantly recognisable for the fact that they have no features on their faces and their heads are usually gently tilted to one side.
Of course, one of the most attractive parts of choosing to give this kind of gift is that, unlike flowers, chocolates or fine wine, they will not fade, disappear or run dry; it’s a gift that will last as a constant reminder of love and friendship. In fact, it’s possible that what’s most distinctive about Willow Tree’s designs is the affection they convey. In the figurines labelled ‘Promise’ or ‘Together’, for example, it’s easy to see why these make perfect wedding, engagement or anniversary gifts |
