Demdaco Willow Tree Angel Love - 2010

Angel Love Message: So happy to love and be loved - An angelic figure in a playful pose of wonder. Her entire being communicates happiness – secure knowing that she is loved. The title is a sweet term of endearment – one that a mother might call her child, or that a couple in love might call each other. But what makes this engaging, cherub figure so distinctive is her unique headpiece of pierced metal hearts, with exposed glints of gold. A gift for any time a sweet expression of love and affection is desired.

"This piece was directly inspired by the model. A young girl who struck this pose that just captivated me. It was a gesture where her whole body communicated – not just her arms and her head, but her shoulders, back, and the way she shifted her weight – her whole being emanated happiness from within. So I tried to capture some of that – the happiness or inner contentment that comes from knowing you are truly loved. I wanted to give her an aura, so I made a lacy pierced metal crown, tiara, halo – whatever you want to call it – I think it makes her uniquely angelic." - Susan Lordi
