Glorifying 
Housewives
Dryads and dresden dolls are conventional subjects for sculptors. But not for Marion Sanford of New York. 
Miss Sanford sees fundamental beauty in working women and housewives at their daily tasks.
Recent winner of a National Academy $1000 award, Miss Sanford believes there id "beauty in movements one makes performing useful chores. I can see character is sticking to a useful job for loved ones until the work is finished."
Thus, she has portrayed in metal and clay and stone the movements of women washing clothes, churning butter, planting seeds and performing other homely tasks.
Included in her group of working women is her friend, Cornelia Chapin, also a sculptor.
