My recent work in repainting the lines of my Labyrinth and adding aglets were worthwhile.

I’m already working out Labyrinth designs for the next Pedestrian Sunday on July 28 2019, placing it in a different area of Kensington Market to mix things up for the kids . . .
Ownership of the Restaurant which commissioned me to paint a small Labyrinth in front of their place, has changed.
New owners painted over the name of the former Vietnamese Sandwich shop, whose name I had included in the original design.
They kept the Labyrinth . . .
Look closely at the seam in the boardwalk and the now very faded red outline of my Heart Labyrinth I painted here reveals itself.
For it to last longer, I had intended to repaint it before I left Vancouver.
Aw well.
Will repaint it when I get back.
Look closely again, and you may notice the seam of my Heart Labyrinth aligns with The ‘Finger Paint’ mural on the exterior of The Charleson tower in Downtown Vancouver.
That 416 foot tall mural was created by visual artist Elizabeth McIntosh.
Sunday Funday on the Labyrinth I painted on the Wading Pool in Geary Avenue Parkette in West End Toronto . . .
Labyrinth I first painted on May 27 2007 upon the surface of the wading pool in Prairie Drive Park, Scarborough, is holding its colours fairly well . . .
Jo was kind enough to say hello and ask me a little bit about the Labyrinths I painted on Augusta Avenue during Pedestrian Sunday . . .
Wonderful surprise to see her in depth instagram post…
Thank you Jo!
Happy Walking!
“In Kensington Market this past weekend and came across these Labyrinths made by HiMY SYeD.
As I learned from the artist, Labyrinths were essential to ancient civilizations, the earliest ones built out of stone along the sea to capture fish as sustenance.
To HiMY , his Labyrinths are a form of “urban acupuncture.”They encourage people to explore space, place, decision-making, choice, habit, and even perseverance.
As some complete the path, others may cheat and break the course.
It’s great that a simple urban intervention like this can create surprise, participation, and play🤸♂️
While a maze is meant to puzzle and confuse, the Labyrinth will always lead you to its centre ❤️” – Jo Minhinnett
My Robson Square Labyrinth remains a venue for Street Performers earning their Vancouver rent . . .
This image was captured sometime during Ramadan 2018.
I had painted a green outline of my Robson Square Labyrinth before Ramadan began, then followed up after Ramadan by painting it blue, yellow, red and green.
