Before I began re-painting my months old Labyrinths on Augusta Avenue which were showing wear and tear, I saw children exploring and enjoying them as they were . . .
Seeing this, I felt something wonderful.
Their imagination perhaps filling in the breaks and gaps in the walls and arcs of my painted designs.
That as much as anything else is why I keep painting Labyrinths in Public Spaces where children discover them.
The gaps in the arcs of this Labyrinth I painted on Kensington Avenue reveals where wheels of motorized vehicles most often roll.
Kind of like Desire Lines but for vehicles instead of Pedestrians or Cyclists.
Nice angle capturing all the Labyrinths I painted on North Augusta Avenue . . .
This may be one the last photographs of my Labyrinth I painted in Robson Square, Downtown Vancouver.
The temporary car-free public space experiment has been made officially permanent.
Soon, the makeshift block long plaza will be redone with a final design.
Thank you City of Vancouver for NOT removing the Labyrinth I painted there.
It was walked by thousands of Vancouverites, enjoyed by thousands of Visitors.
So long Robson Square Labyrinth.
So many people step onto the Heart I painted in the Centre of my Labyrinth in Robson Square, I thought to re-paint several coats of Red so it may last a while.
It’s in need of a re-paint faster than I thought !
Hearts.
I now place them in the Centre of almost all my Labyrinths.
I add them to turn-arounds at the ends of the Lines which make up the outline of my Labyrinth Designs.
This Heart centre of my pass-through Labyrinth painted on Kensington Avenue during the July 2019 Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market.
Without a Heart somewhere in my designs, my Labyrinths now feel incomplete.
Emotion is absent.
Adding one or more hearts, changes the entire feeling, meaning, and experience of a Labyrinth . . .
Love Button indeed.
Never occurred to me that from a certain vantage point, my Labyrinths can include a Key Hole design . . .
Inspired to work this Key idea in future Labyrinths and see what happens.
That’s me in the background painting “# K E N S I N G T O N M A R K E T” atop Augusta Avenue on Pedestrian Sunday, Kensington Market . . .
I’ve never accepted that my painted Labyrinths are Graffiti nor even Murals.
They stand apart.
They are their own thing.
They are interactive, you can walk through my Street Labyrinths.
Yet they are also visual, you can enjoy looking at them or looking at people walking them.
