Enantiomer

Enantiomer,2024
lost-skittles cast white bronze, piddock clam-bored rock

Boring clams (see-Piddock clams) slowly carve homes into rock, using their ridged shells to grind deeper and deeper over years. As they grow their burrows become tapered, in part to their shells’ negative draft angle, ensuring that they will never escape from their rocky tomb. Despite all odds they continue mindlessly digging into the rock and growing bigger. I respect the grind.

After a life spent digging the rock reaches its carrying capacity and fractures into pieces. Over time, the ocean softens the sharp edges of these rocks into smooth, puzzling shapes. What’s left is an incomplete record of life lived within them. A fascinating interplay between biology and geology. Like enantiomers (non-superimposable mirror image), the bronze cast from candy-filled voids are mirror images of the clam boring forces acting upon the rock.
