Labyrinth I painted on the surface of the Wading Pool in Geary Avenue Parkette.

Upon my arrival,

I was surprised at the nuanced gesture of two spirals drawn in the umlaut dots atop the letter ï in my signed name.

The colours, different tints of green, are still visible and viable as Lines of the Labyrinth.

Only the two half circles which extend onto the cement deck surrounding the wading pool were in need of a repaint.

I added a Heart in the centre of the Labyrinth.

Also added the Pi symbol π in the triangle of the Labyrinth connecting the centre and the outer wall.

I was tempted to paint some more art to complement the existing design, yet decided adding an arrow pointing towards the entrance of the Labyrinth was just the right final touch.

Before painting Labyrinths on this Pier overlooking Alder Bay in Vancouver,

I asked as many neighbourhood people as I could,

what regular events happened in this public space ?

Beyond an annual one day community garage sale / swap meet,

nothing happened else was programmed here.

It might be that my painting several Labyrinths here, transforming this pier into Labyrinth Pier, plus the Pandemic shutting down many indoor events, has brought out this Salsa Dance class . . .

I biked to Budapest Park yesterday, Saturday to survey my Octagon Labyrinth. Many fading Pink lines needed repainting. I returned today, Sunday, and began re-painting the Pink with a luminescent colour of light Lavender. I painted ” SUNNYSiDE ” and outlined ” BUDAPEST park ” in the Lavender/White.

I biked to Budapest Park yesterday, Saturday to survey my Octagon Labyrinth.

Many fading Pink lines needed repainting.

I returned today, Sunday, and began re-painting the Pink with a luminescent colour of light Lavender.

I painted ” SUNNYSiDE ” and outlined ” BUDAPEST park ” in the Lavender/White.

Got tired shortly after Sunset and headed home.

Still have lines in three Octants to re-paint.

InshAllah,

I will return and finish painting over the fading pink before Toronto’s Wading Pools are officially opened for Summer 2020.

During the Pandemic,

Many have been waiting for Barber Shops and Hair Salons to re-open.

People need haircuts.

Likewise,

The Vancouver Public Labyrinth has been in need of a Grass Cut.

Today was that day . . .

Grateful to The City of Vancouver / Vancouver Parks Board staff for carefully cutting overgrown grass around the Vancouver Public Labyrinth !

Like Jeremy’s drone photograph of Habitat Island in False Creek,

This image incidentally also includes TWO of my Labyrinths !

First one, Vancouver Public Labyrinth, is easily visible and shown here.

The second one is barely visible,

That’s my Green Masking Tape Labyrinth I made on the round cement art podium in Hinge Park.

This drone photograph was captured around 7 p.m. on June 6 2020.

To my knowledge,

this is the first aerial drone image of my Vancouver Public Labyrinth.

Grateful to Jeremy Lee in Vancouver for sharing his drone image on Instagram.

His intention was to capture Habitat Island,

My Stone Labyrinth being in view was a bonus.

I rotated the Instagram image 90 degrees to reflect a true east-west orientation.

Incidentally,

The round cement circle you can see in Hinge Park is the location of my Green Masking Tape Labyrinth !

My Hinge Park Labyrinth has since become a Ghost Labyrinth with barely a walkable masking tape outline remaining at present.
