I was commissioned by the SFSS Women’s Centre to create a Chalk Labyrinth on their behalf for the first ever SFU Streetfest held on Burnaby Mountain. . .

The Labyrinth I first painted in summer 2009 in the Wading Pool in Christie Pits Park.
Sometimes, it’s just a splash pad and not a Labyrinth!
Every once in a while, I have been chalking a Baltic design pass-through Labyrinth near the Piano at Spyglass Place west side of Cambie Bridge.
This is a good photograph of one my recent Chalk Labyrinths at this location . . .
Whenever I visit my Robson Square Labyrinth, sometimes I find Street Furniture, Table and Folding Metal Chairs, right on top it.
This interferes with walking the Labyrinth.
I always remove them.
Maybe I don’t need to…
?
Placing Hearts throughout my Labyrinths has forever changed my Giant Outstallation Art practice . . .
They are infused with Love.
The different colours I used to paint the Labyrinth in this Wading Pool find their way through the water and its waves . . .
Creating Chalk Labyrinths on Friday and Saturday Nights on Granville Street Intersections in Downtown Vancouver . . .
Was surprised to find an entire half-block that was closed off to car traffic, yet left open for pedestrians at this year’s TaiwanFest.
Many people enjoyed exploring and experiencing my Chalk Labyrinth at the north end of Granville Street on the first day of TaiwanFest 2018 . . .

For some reason I can’t quite yet understand, making eight sided octagonal Labyrinths have always been a struggle.
On this evening, it turned out okay. I think it was the better of all my previous efforts.
This might have been because I returned to the basics and only tried to get the measurements and the shape of it right, without improvising anything design-wise.
Many people seemed to enjoy it.
There I am, chalk drawing the Labyrinth . . .
So I finally get around to investing time in repairing my Spyglass Place Labyrinth, and what happens not one full day after doing so?
Someone else goes and changes it and spray paints a tag on the face of the stone in the centre of the Labyrinth.
I hadn’t yet seen this image online and discovered the changes upon visiting it again on my own.
Look closely where the darker lines of dried grass are and you can still make out my original design in placing the rocks.
The ” pi ” / ” π ” triangle at the entrance was removed and reduced to a single line of stones.
I restored it.
And oil sticked a Red Heart on the Centre Stone, outlined in Blue and Yellow.
I opted not to take any of my own pictures.
