If clams can be said to have expressions in addition to just existing, these certainly do. I would love to have one of the smaller ones to make me feel cheerful on a bad day.

I like the way the sculpture reveals and celebrates the inherent beauty and sense of age and solidity of the oak and at the same time uses it to give a sense of the delicacy and fluidity of the membranes of a clam. And I love how two very different environments - the marine and the forest - get tangled together here.
