| The carving of intertwined vines and birds in flight on the dresses of both mother and daughter is a metaphor for the connection, yet freedom, which exists in the best of relationships. 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. The sentiment apart or together, always close to me applies to any age... a child going away to camp, a teenager leaving for college... the message is the same. - Susan Lordi |
