Willow Tree Father’s Day>My Girls

“This Piece Was Directed By The Models. The Poses That The Girls Naturally Assumed Showed Their Relationship With Their Dad Much Better Than I Could Have Instructed Them. Their Father Was The Anchor — And The Girls Fluttered Around Him. I Got A Sense Of How The Girls Saw Him As Strong And Reassuring. They Looked At Him With A ‘My Dad Can Do Anything’ Look. The Dad Was Clearly Having Fun Being With His Daughters. I Wanted To Make This Sculpture A Two-Way Piece — The Girls Look To His Strength And Stability, And He Looks To Them As His Greatest Source Of Joy. I Think The Beauty Of A Good Father/Daughter Relationship Is In Its Duality. I Hope The Sentiment Can Be Read From Either Perspective — Father To Daughters, Or Daughter To Father.” —Susan Lordi
