"Drawn tthe female form and, in particular, ethnic women, Tuck sculpts
sensuous and graceful beings. His attentiveness tlight and line are
especially strong. The Alien Series provides a fine counterpoint tthe
figurative work in that they are more abstract and interpretive. These
pieces exhibit more elaborate texture and patina."
Brooke Marler, 1992
Northern Indiana Artists Association Program Coordinator

"His human torsos are full of motion and strikingly beautiful. A critical
vocabulary exists tdescribe the arch of a back, the flow of movement of an
axis in the figure, and the virtuosity of Langland’s patinas as light
reveals
the form they enhance."
Susan Hood, art historian
in a review in Arts Insight, 1987
"Langland is a much deeper read, capable of transcending his own sculptural
ability and illustrative competence tenter the realm of allegory."
Steve Manheimer, art reviewer
in a review in the Indianapolis Star, 1991
