The first of three Chalk Labyrinths I made on Sunday.

This one in Olympic Village Square. . .

Not many walked it.

Why?

Because Olympic Village Square on Sunday afternoon apparently was a Pokemon Go location.

People were staring at their online devices rather than notice any chalk pathways being made before them.

Three young girls did jump to the entrance and eventually dared to explore. They were the only ones to immediately do so.

I then went and chalked my larger Labyrinth project for the day on the north side of Athlete’s Way in another public space.

Friday night, I invested the better part of an hour chalking an entire Labyrinth in one of the Entertainment District’s car-free intersections on Granville Street.

Curious to see how much of it survived the day’s vehicle traffic, I returned Saturday night after the street was again closed off to cars and open for people.

Finding my previous night’s faint chalk outline had survived in varying degrees, the Labyrinth remained walkable.

I went for a test walk, and in doing so, a young boy with his mom observing, also began walking it.

A pleasant conversation followed and the young boy and his mom thanked me.

That was enough to confirm what I was going to do anyway, re-chalk the outline of the faded Labyrinth.

I decided to leave the aglets without re-chalked hearts at each of the turns.

I only redrew Hearts at the entrance and the centre this time. A rare decision on my part.

A safe estimate would be that hundreds of people walked, ran, laughed, and made this Labyrinth a part of their party night along Granville Street in Downtown Vancouver.

Including this young Lady, Karen, who stood out for me, as I saw her truly engage and explore and invest much time walking the Labyrinth.

Unexpectedly, found her instagram post, and here it is…

This is one of the Labyrinths I have been randomly chalking in the middle of intersections along Granville Street in Downtown Vancouver when the street goes Car Free on Friday and Saturday nights during the summer.

Never thought to photograph an entrance to any of my Labyrinths from this exact angle before.

Gives me quite a different understanding of my own art.

Or should I say, “STart” ?

“Sometimes, you need to go back to the beginning and reset.

“It’s about the journey and not the destination, like a Labyrinth in the middle of the street.

“Live in the moment.”

“I love a Labyrinth and this one was in the middle of the street at two a.m. as the bars let out in Vancouver.

“People were smiling, connecting and enjoying.

“It was a moment.”
