Description

Orange, pink and purple hues color the sky and match the colorful choices of the clammer’s glove - the right one in blue, the left in orange. The mud is sludge-like and soupy, medium-brown at its surface and blackish underneath. Its surface is watery and smooth with areas of bumpy coverage throughout. The clammer pulls the mud with ease, likely due to its soft consistency. They move quickly between dig spots. Water splashes from the surface of the mud into the flipped holes, and the clammer sometimes places their hand in the watery holes, completely submerging it to search for clams. The clammer moves to another area where the mud is less watery and continues to pull out clams with their right hand. They have a pattern of digging and walking a few steps before digging again. Often, the clammer’s left glove comes close to the lens, blocking out much of the frame. Although the mud is wet and soupy, the tines often make scraping noises as they submerge into the mud, likely from clam shells or possibly rocks. Red worms consistently appear. The clammer doesn’t stay in one place for long, usually only flipping the mud in a singular area for a minute or less before moving on.
