Message: "So loved, so very loved"
Inspiration - Susan's explanation of the inspiration and creative process behind specific sculptures: So loved, so very loved - Introduced Summer 2004
"This piece is inspired by the memory of holding my children when they were really tiny - holding them so close that it involves all of your senses - the scent of the fuzzy head against your cheek - the skin-to-skin warmth - the realization that you can love another being so very, very much. I wanted to capture that sensory memory that every mother has from when she held her newborn infant - an innermost quiet joy. The sentiment has a lullaby feel to it. I think this is one of my best pieces because the composition, the form as a whole, is strong from all viewpoints."
