The Claw, fashioned from the branch of a redwood tree, is wrapped in copper sheet metal, encrusted with hundreds of nails, and obsessively embellished with jewelry, marbles, and other simple found objects. This is one of a series of nail sculptures that Locks began in 1948 and exhibited widely, the first time at the San Francisco Museum of Art’s annual exhibition in 1950.
