Hilda
Description
A memorial to Minter's late wife and a welcoming totem to visitors, alternating red and yellow wooden letters stacked vertically spell out the word "Hilda." The letters are attached to a supporting wooden board. Four brown and yellow polka-dot wooden boards extend diagonally from the tall wooden base, representing hands and feet. The top of the sculpture is affixed with a metal "crown," affixed by a chain, for the "sweetest matriarch that has ever been born." Several found objects decorate the sculpture including a purse, hat, and gloves.
