Sometimes Young Wading Pool staffers turn on the vertical Fountain Geyser atop the Water Pump in the centre of Toronto’s Wading Pools. Some of those wading pools have Labyrinths that I have painted in them. This is Christie Pits Park . . .

The earlier replies to this tweet assumes Matt meant more Water Fountains. Understandably, I immediately thought Matt Galloway meant ‘More Labyrinths’ like the one I painted here in this wading pool a few years back… More of these please. 🏃🏾 pic.twitter.com/9KCgrhFWg5 — Matt Galloway (@mattgallowaycbc) 10 July 2018 More of both! — Steve Purificati (@stevepurf) […]

One of my older Labyrinths, I painted this one on the Traffic Island opposite Christie Street Subway Station, north of Bloor Street West in Toronto . . .

There used to be a water fountain in the middle, and thus the weird oval shape making up the enlarged centre of the Labyrinth.

The intention was you would walk the Labyrinth and then be able to get a drink of water using the fountain.

The fountain broke.

I painted the Labyrinth to draw attention to the broken water fountain.

Urban Acupuncture !

Rather than fix the fountain, the City of Toronto removed it.

I’ve been re-painting this Labyrinth ever since . . .
