By HiMY SYeD | Published: Friday October 25, 2019

Some take longer, winding roads and some have straight clear paths. It's important to understand that life is incredibly complex like the maze and each one has their […]

Today I went for a walk in my neighbourhood and ran into @LabyrinthsDOTca painting his newest labyrinth.

“Blue building with green markings…” – Labyrinth – Augusta Avenue at Denison Square – Kensington Market – Downtown Toronto

This is the 15 Lane quintile ( five section ) Labyrinth I painted in the wading pool in Randy Padmore Park in Downtown Toronto. I re-imagined the entire process of how I make my Labyrinths, thus allowing me to create 15 Lanes in a space where previously I might only make an 11 Lane design. […]
