Look closely at the White Labyrinth.
There is a mix of thin outlines and wide finished lines.
I was still in the process of painting the White Labyrinth.
The white dots and shoeprints are from people walking on my wet paint . . .
The Red Heart Labyrinth I had finished painting and it was dry, so no red shoeprints.
In the top left pocket of the picture, you can just make out the red colour arcs of my Heart Labyrinth I painted beside this larger Orange one.
My “Labyrinth Pier, Vancouver” project location now has three painted Labyrinths.
This white colour design is a pass-through Labyrinth.
You can see from the first image it is still a work in progress.
I’m waiting for a break in the rain, long enough to allow my painting the thin outlines with at least one full coat using a full width roller brush.
The orange colour of this first of several Labyrinths to be painted onto this pier really pops at night.
Enough to stop runners in their tracks to snap a pic!
Earlier this afternoon, I visited Labyrinth Pier and chalked my usual π symbol in bottom of the slice of pie that are found in almost all my circular Labyrinth designs.
I also chalked a Heart in the Centre of the Labyrinth.
They both change everything. It feels different walking when both Pi and Heart are present.
“Labyrinth Pier” south of Granville Island, Vancouver.
The current thin outlines of the outer arcs / walls are almost invisible from this angle.
This image captures the moment-in-time in-between painting over the thin orange outlines into full width arcs viewable from afar…
Gus in the centre of the Vancouver Public Labyrinth!
My current multi-Labyrinth location is an unusual shaped wooden pier attached to Island Park Walk opposite Granville Island along the False Creek Seawall.
This is the first of four, and potentially five, different designs I hope to complete painting in this undefined public space.
Many people have already walked it in my presence, when it was first chalked, and even while I was in the process of outlining the chalk design with a thin line of orange paint.
The original colour choice was yellow, yet at the last minute I switched to orange. This turned out to be the better colour choice upon this dark coloured marine wood.
Many people stopped and chatted with me to learn about this Labyrinth, including the couple who posted this trio of images on instagram.
I am grateful to all!
Yay!
This unexpected video find is bringing me such happiness!
My intention was to add two smaller Labyrinths in-between my Vancouver Public Labyrinth and the pathway along the False Creek Seawall.
This “wee” one is a classic design three lane Labyrinth made of small stones.
It’s a placeholder until I have time and energy to build a larger one using larger rocks.
Perhaps its fine as it is?
It certainly brought a smile to this Labyrinth’s Walker as we can see in the end of her video. . .
Plus she re-positioned a few misplaced stones along the way! Appreciated!
I was so focused in making this Labyrinth, I took very few photographs during the process.
Very happy with this image of me re-chalking an outline near the centre of the Labyrinth.
This image teases two heart aglets in one corner of the Chalk 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 . . .
Week’s old Labyrinth I chalked seems to want to stick around a little while longer . . .
I re-chalked this specific Labyrinth a number of times now, and it’s remained visible and walkable for weeks!
Visited it again today and though the colours have faded, the outline is intact.
This image captures the moment well.
I might re-chalk it.
Or await the rain then re-do it altogether with more exacting measurements.
