About the Piece:
The "Loving My Mother" figurine is a reflection of the evolving dynamic between mothers and their adult children. It speaks to the roles that both give and receive throughout life. As Susan Lordi reflects, the piece captures the emotional shift as a daughter begins to care for the mother who once cared for her.
Susan Lordi's Inspiration:
"As I was sculpting this piece, I was thinking about being—there—for my mom in however she needs me. Realizing how much she did for us our whole lives, I feel good when I can return some of the same. All the meals, all the holidays, all the little caring things, the sacrifices she made, all she taught us about the world... for me and my siblings, for my children and their children—as a mother, a grandmother, a great-grandmother—she gave us a foundation of love!"
The "Loving My Mother" figurine serves as a tribute to the unwavering support mothers provide and the deep emotional connection that continues throughout the generations.
