SANDIFER Language of Art Rosie Sandifer Introduction
by Robin Salmon Foreword by Tuck Langland
Robin
Salmon observes that Sandifer sculpts the mundane, elevating
it to a special level in her slice-of-life depictions. Tuck
Langland sums up her work as, “portraying the joy of life,
revealing a perspective which is in stark contrast to those
artists who see only misery, pain, and suffering.” He acknowledges
her unusual life as a hybrid artist. “While most sculptors
draw, few are serious about painting. This straddling the
world of two and three dimensions is rare.” It is her language
of art.
Robin
Salmon has been on the staff of Brookgreen Gardens,
Pawleys Island, South Carolina, since 1975 as historian,
editor, curator of collections, and vice president of academic
affairs. Tuck Langland is a retired professor of
sculpture, Indiana University, South Bend, and a sculptor
whose works are in collections, museums, and public plazas
across the U.S. and Europe. He is the author of From Clay
to Bronze.
