Our new permanent painted labyrinth is under construction in our south-east parking lot! Please be careful if you are driving in that area. @LabyrinthsDOTca is creating a custom design just for us! #labyrinth #WalkingWith #meditation #journeyoffaith #Advent pic.twitter.com/0dwHflpEso — HolyNameofMaryCSS (@HNMCSS) November 29, 2021 Currently in progress, I am painting a Labyrinth commissioned by the […]

Currently in progress,

I am painting a Labyrinth commissioned by the Chaplaincy at Holy Name of Mary Catholic Secondary School in Brampton, Ontario.

Parking Lot was agreed as the best candidate location for a Painted Labyrinth.

Available space for painting a Labyrinth was trapezoid/rectangular.

My final design was a Nine Lane Labyrinth plus two wings with spans of four additional lanes on either side.

Keeping the Concentric Circle arc design rather than using true 90 degree hard right angles will make for a funner and more flowing Labyrinth walking experience.

Plan for the day was to at least outline in paint my chalked design.

Retracing in paint a thin outline meant I need not worry about any rain which would wash away my chalk design outlining work.

Rain has been intermittent yet frequent enough this month to delay completion.

InshAllah, will finish painting it before the first snow.

Kseniya,

Grateful for your Kind & Generous Acknowledgment.

Thank you.

“This is to HïMY @labyrinthsdotca whom I accidentally met at Budapest Park creating his biggest ground Labyrinth in Canada (!!!).

I had noticed that and many other wading pool Labyrinths in parks around Toronto before that,

and I thought it was so cool cause every time I saw children and adults really enjoying them.

I was sure it was a City of Toronto’s project of some sort,

BUT it is not!

HïMY is doing it all on his own and hasn’t sought payment for his creations.

He spends time to carefully measure and calculate a very elaborated Labyrinth pattern,

and invests his own money in the art materials.

He worked on this one, for example, for about two years.

He puts so much thought into the way he designs his Labyrinths, and so so much passion!

Just look at HïMY’s t-shirt, and undershirt, and notebook – everything is Labyrinth 😍

And he did his research how to write it in different languages 🙂

Dear @start_streetartoronto and @stepspublicart , I think HïMY totally deserves to be on the artists roster and bring even more of his interactive and meaningful creations to animate the public spaces ❤️

P.S. did you know what is the different between a Maze and a Labyrinth?

I didn’t, and I learnt from HïMY that a Maze has dead ends, but a Labyrinth doesn’t, you will always find your way to the centre ✨”

I’ve been approached by the Chaplaincy at Holy Name of Mary Catholic Secondary School in Brampton, Ontario to help them with locating and making a Labyrinth on their high school campus.

This seven lane Chalk Labyrinth was my quickly chalked Proof-of-Concept in one of our candidate spaces,

An asphalt service lane beside their athletic field . . .

Parking Lot seen in the background below is the better candidate location for a Labyrinth painted on asphalt.

Ergo,

A second Proof-of-Concept Chalk Labyrinth is needed to see if the Parking Lot works best.

Noah,

Grateful for your kind, most kind, generous, and unexpected acknowledgement.

Thank you.

“If you’ve ever noticed the intricate beauty of a Labyrinth painted into a splash pad in a Toronto park,

Or even taken a few meditative and reflective minutes to walk its lanes,

You can thank this artist,

HiMY aka @LabyrinthsDOTca

He has made 200 of them across the city,

Unpaid and sometimes without permission.

He takes the time to learn about the people and history of the community so that he can represent them.

He returns to maintain them.

In his words,

They are an “Outstallation” for us each to experience in our own way.

They are a gift for which I am deeply thankful.”
