Purposeful in the mud, on the stately side, to have a purpose and to endeavor to achieve it. To dig for clams or to endeavor to represent a clam digger at work.

I like the mud, the water. I can accept the result. I don’t know if there are optimal results in any such endeavor. A true digger of clams would offer a more qualified opinion. There’s a statue on Commonwealth Avenue in Boston that offers the advice “Dream dreams and write them, yes, but live them first”. At least be informed by realism.

This image was called up from language on Nightcafe. I’ll often use Durer to get a real and classical drafting – ‘represent as Durer might’

One can also mutate a start image. The final digger (at top) is a guided and iterated mutation of the digger below. Could make you think about identity and archetypes, if you were of such a mind. One can inject noise as well. More noise increases the degree of mutation from a start image.

Good luck in your digging
