Close To Me

This Piece Came On Strong As My Daughter Moved To France Earlier This Year. I Will Miss Her Terribly, But At The Same Time, I Am So Happy And Excited For Her. It Is A Personal Message To My Daughter, That Regardless Of Whether We’Re Apart Or Together, She’S Always Close To Me.The Sentiment Applies To Any Age… A Child Going Away To Camp, A Teenager Leaving For College… The Message Is The Same. The Intertwined Images Carved On The Figures’ Dresses Visually Echo This Sentiment. I Understand This Piece From Both Sides — Having Been A Daughter, And Having Gone Through The Experience Of Raising A Daughter To Adulthood. I Hope Both Mothers And Daughters Will Connect To The Emotions Of This Piece. —Susan Lordi
