The Minotaur Mural on Wallace Avenue is down the street and around the corner from the Labyrinth I painted onto the surface of the wading pool in Campbell Park in Toronto.

Though I don’t intentionally create Mazes, paths with dead ends, Campbell Park’s wading pool had some resurfacing done which transformed my Labyrinth into something random and incomplete.

So of all the places in Toronto to mural up a Minotaur, this location is closest to that one Labyrinth of mine which is now a maze.

Mazes have Minotaurs. Labyrinths have love.

I prefer the latter.

So that’s it for my Spyglass Place Labyrinth.

The grass reveals a ghost outline of my former quintile, seven lane Labyrinth.

I had built this Labyrinth by placing stones I took from underneath the Cambie Bridge.

The middle of the Labyrinth, I chose it because there was a large flat stone embedded in the ground, and once you would arrive at the centre, you could stand on it.

Some time after I had made this, I came back with oil based paint sticks, and outlined a red heart on that flat stone.

That meant after you walked the Spyglass Place Labyrinth and arrived at the Centre, you would find a heart there.

So, if my Labyrinth was to disappear through entropy, the way for it to go, would be as a giant heart.

Seen from the Cambie Bridge in Vancouver, just north of Olympic Village Station.

Dear Vancouver!

On Friday Evening, November 2 2018 between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., we’re having a Pumpkin Parade !

What is that exactly?

We bring our Carved Pumpkins from our doorsteps, window sills, and front yards to a neighbourhood gathering spot, McLean Park, at the corner of Heatley and Keefer in the Strathcona Neighbourhood.

We then enjoy the artwork of our neighbourhood!

Hopefully there will be enough pumpkins to create an outline of a Giant Jack O’Lantern which we can all enjoy together!

Please spread the word and see you then!

Still Wondering and need more?

Mixed feelings about this turn of events . . .

Last week my Spyglass Place Labyrinth, which I first made back in April using nearby stones, had all its stones removed and put into a number of piles.

Aw well.

I intended to return and rebuild the Labyrinth when I had a good chunk of time to do so.

And now, in recent days, someone used some of the stones to outline a giant heart, with what looks like giant letters or initials inside the heart.

The grass outline of the Labyrinth remains as does the well worn path in-between those outlines.

My Spyglass Place Labyrinth was well walked.

It lasted from April until Early October.

On recent visits, the number of concrete building cinder blocks placed by the Labyrinth’s entrance pathway has been increasing.

Now, they have all been moved from the outer wall, to the centre of the Labyrinth itself, and transformed into a Sculpture in its own right . . .

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.

Directions and process

“I was commissioned by Centre for Comparative Muslim Studies to create this mural.

At first,

we were looking to create a design that would represent Muslims in Vancouver.

It immediately felt like an overwhelming task,

because one piece of work won’t do any justice to the complexity and uniqueness of these people.

So I took a step back and decided to design this mural for all of the minorities in this city.

I wanted to Illustrate one of the many struggles minorities and immigrants face:

cultural and identity differences.

These differences might feel like a burden when they don’t fit into a society you’re trying to adjust to.

We do not have to justify our culture, traditions and identity.

We’re all so different for a reason.”

– Doaa Jamal

July 29 to August 11 2018

why can’t they see us?

For when others want you and I to fit into this one image they have created.

We are different for a reason.

I designed this mural using Arabic square Kufic script to illustrate a verse from the Qur’an that says

“We have created you from male and female and we made you into tribes and nations that you may know each other” (49:13)

“Here’s the thing I’ve been working on for the past couple weeks!!🎉✨

By creating this mural “Why can’t they see us?”

I’m hoping to challenge all of us as a community.

When my family and I moved here,

I felt like I’m out of this planet.

Like all the time.

Unfortunately some did not make the effort to understand and learn where I come from.

What my culture is like.

Instead,

they gasped and looked at me strangely.

So here is a sweet reminder for you all to genuinely get to know one another with open mind and acceptance.

Cause hey!

One life cannot experience everything this life has to offer. .”

These are a few photographs of me volunteering to help make and finish Doaa Jamal‘s “Why can’t they see us?” Mural…
