When I first placed a medium sized dinosaur egg in the middle of the centre of what would become the Vancouver Public Labyrinth, it was not large enough to stand nor sit on.

Far from it.

Then one day I returned for a maintenance visit and of all the stones, that was the only one which was missing.

I re-placed the disappeared centre stone with a much larger, heavier stone. Not just a dinosaur egg but a really big stone.

Some days later, I found yet another large rock during low tide in False Creek and placed it beside the first re-placement stone.

Since then, I have randomly seen people stand upon those two rocks once they reach the centre.

This is the first instance of seeing someone sitting on them.

Perhaps reaching the centre of the Vancouver Public Labyrinth then sitting and watching the setting set is a thing . . .

The dried grass, with its hair thin whispers of blades gently strangling the stone arcss of the Labyrinth, almost makes this seem ancient, like its always been there, betraying its age. It’s barely fourth months old. I began building this late March and finished it in April… Unraveling the maze . . . #earlymorningmusings #olympicvillage […]

That someone be… Me! I’ve re-chalked Labyrinths in this exact location a number of times now. It seems to be appreciated. Someone drew a labyrinth on the cement so I walked it spontaneously. A labyrinth always reminds me of one of my clients who wrote books on them and had one in her backyard. Love […]

This is a wonderful composite photograph comprised of at least five different captures. I’ve tried now and then to create similar composite images of the same Labyrinth Walker at different spots along the path, yet nothing as nice and seamless as this one. Well done Clara!

Some years back in Toronto when I was RE-Painting my Labyrinth in the Wading Pool in the middle of Christie Pits Park, a father of two young boys was surprised to finally meet me.

He had a seven year old and a four year old.

His then four year old had learned to walk by using the lanes of my Labyrinth.

His older brother, who was all of three years old at the time, would spend an hour by himself walking and re-walking and re-walking the Labyrinth.

That hour of parent-free direct attention allowed the dad to focus on his youngest, helping his toddler to learn to walk.

The father told me that they as a family had been walking the Labyrinth almost everyday that they could for the past four years.

I was speechless. I became unusually self-conscious as the Father wanted to snap a photograph of me standing with paintbrush in the Labyrinth.

It was one of the most profound moments during my journey in my City of Labyrinths Project.

I was working on this Chalk Labyrinth Saturday evening, along the seawall, north of Science World and west of Creekside Park. First time making a Labyrinth in this exact location . . . Wasn’t quite sure the location was ideal, yet people did appreciate it, and it turned out okay. Still want to go back […]

First time making a Labyrinth in this exact location . . .

Wasn’t quite sure the location was ideal, yet people did appreciate it, and it turned out okay.

Still want to go back and finish it though.
