When we’re not at the Walker working as interns in the Performing Arts department, Nicola Carpenter and I make miniature golf holes. For this year’s Artist-Designed Mini Golf in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, we collaborated with Nicola’s parents on a piece called Be a Sculpture! On the course, players are encouraged to stand on the various scattered footprints of the green to become a sculpture as their friends play. In the spirit of “being a sculpture,” we decided to create a necklace for each of us to wear for opening night. It’s a fitting homage to both our hole and the reason for the the mini golf course in the first place: the Sculpture Garden’s 25th anniversary.
