HOT ! Willow Tree Starry Night Nativity, Sculpted Hand-Painted Nativity Triptych

TITLE: Starry Night Nativity SENTIMENT: ... and heaven and earth sing DESCRIPTION: Starry Night Nativity is a traditional narrative, told in a new way. Artist Susan Lordi carved Nativity figures in bas-relief within an 8Ó box that opens as a triptych to reveal a starry night encircling an intimate scene. LordiÕs use of deep gradated blues, sparkly gold and symbolic imagery is a reference to historical objects of art. ÒI embellished the surface with gold dotsÑsymbolizing light, energy, hope, inner strengthÉ Gold connotes preciousness and enduring value, and I wanted this to be a special piece, that would be kept for a long time.Ó ÐSusan Lordi Starry Night Nativity can be displayed year round, with as much visual interest when doors are closed as when opened.
