You can still see the Chalk Labyrinth I made many days ago in the abandoned Plaza of Nations area in Downtown Vancouver . . .
You can still see the Chalk Labyrinth I made many days ago in the abandoned Plaza of Nations area in Downtown Vancouver . . .
Chalk Labyrinth I made last week in Olympic Village Square remains walkable . . .
When I first painted this Labyrinth in Robson Square, the idea of also painting the words “Robson Square Labyrinth” along the outside of it remained with me for some time.
I eventually opted to leave it and like Art Installations on display inside the Gallery, my lack of “Labeling” my Giant Outstallation Art allows people to interpret it or choose to refer to it as a maze instead of a Labyrinth, as they wish.
Happy Walking!
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.”
The dried grass, with its hair thin whispers of blades gently strangling the stone arcss of the Labyrinth, almost makes this seem ancient, like its always been there, betraying its age.
It’s barely fourth months old.
I began building this late March and finished it in April…
For all the rain that Vancouver gets at other times of the year, nowadays with all the dry grass around, “Suncouver” is more like it.
A near-to-the ground close-up of the Heart Aglet from one of two Labyrinths I chalked on Commercial Drive during Car Free Day YVR a couple of weekends back…
Thanks Yuika!
Little One wearing a dress full of colourful hearts standing on the Heart I painted at the entrance of my Robson Square Labyrinth!
All her hearts match the colours of the Labyrinth!
Red Hearts, Blue Hearts, Green Hearts, Yellow Hearts!
WOW!
This image makes the colours in my Chalk Labyrinth really pop!
I chalked this during my neighbourhood Festival, the Strathcona Street Party, held on June 23 2018.
It’s was a few blocks over from where I live.
Strathcona Street Party was also the kick-off for the 3rd Annual Vancouver Mural Festival season…
School Garden Program, Sprouting Chefs, brought their class to the Vancouver Public Labyrinth . . .
Cool!
Sometimes it feels like there are more than one path, or one road, inside a Labyrinth; until you reach the Heart of Labyrinth, its Centre…
Walking A Labyrinth might include winding your way to The Centre, then unwinding your way back out.
In a way, this GIF does the same visually.
We are taken into The Centre of the Labyrinth and then back out again in only a few seconds!
That someone be…
Me!
I’ve re-chalked Labyrinths in this exact location a number of times now.
It seems to be appreciated.
