Creating Chalk Labyrinths on Friday and Saturday Nights on Granville Street Intersections in Downtown Vancouver . . .
Was surprised to find an entire half-block that was closed off to car traffic, yet left open for pedestrians at this year’s TaiwanFest.
Many people enjoyed exploring and experiencing my Chalk Labyrinth at the north end of Granville Street on the first day of TaiwanFest 2018 . . .
This Labyrinth I painted in Robson Square at times transforms into a stage. . .

For some reason I can’t quite yet understand, making eight sided octagonal Labyrinths have always been a struggle.
On this evening, it turned out okay. I think it was the better of all my previous efforts.
This might have been because I returned to the basics and only tried to get the measurements and the shape of it right, without improvising anything design-wise.
Many people seemed to enjoy it.
There I am, chalk drawing the Labyrinth . . .
So I finally get around to investing time in repairing my Spyglass Place Labyrinth, and what happens not one full day after doing so?
Someone else goes and changes it and spray paints a tag on the face of the stone in the centre of the Labyrinth.
I hadn’t yet seen this image online and discovered the changes upon visiting it again on my own.
Look closely where the darker lines of dried grass are and you can still make out my original design in placing the rocks.
The ” pi ” / ” π ” triangle at the entrance was removed and reduced to a single line of stones.
I restored it.
And oil sticked a Red Heart on the Centre Stone, outlined in Blue and Yellow.
I opted not to take any of my own pictures.
Hmmm . . .
Being a Labyrinth Maker and Being Anti-Maze, almost all my Labyrinths have a Heart in the centre.
Defining difference between a Labyrinth and a Maze, is that a Labyrinth is unicursal meaning there is only one single path from entrance to arrival in The Centre, whereas a Maze will have at least one dead end.
Navigating Feelings of the Heart in a Labyrinth is different than navigating feelings of the Heart in a maze.
Intriguing Question.
I used reflective paint for the yellow and red concentric circle arcs in my Robson Square Labyrinth, but non-reflective paint for the blue and the green.
Something for me to consider next time I paint a Labyrinth with nighttime lighting.
