At first glance, this year’s Keepers are a ragtag bunch. Their mediums run the gamut from good old-fashioned pen and paper to the human body; their habitats are classrooms, venerable theater stages and rock clubs.
But here’s where this diverse group converges: Each Keeper has talent to spare, and is an indispensable cog in the wheel of Twin Cities culture. For that, we have presented them with some fancy words, and a pretty picture in an attempt to flatter them into never leaving town.
Today’s featured Keeper is Anne Ulku, who spins beautiful words from color, prose and clothing.
A mashup of design, photography, and sandwich ingredients. Mmm.
Lunch time!
