I had the idea of painting Leaves around the Garden Car in Kensington Market for some time now,

Yet never got around to doing it.

On this First Pedestrian Sunday of 2023,

I got around to it.

The Green Leaves with Yellow Veins ended up being bigger than I was envisioning in my mind’s eye.

It really expands the Garden Car’s Personal Space,

Extending the Art part of the Garden Car into the street.

Kseniya,

Grateful for your Kind & Generous Acknowledgment.

Thank you.

“This is to HïMY @labyrinthsdotca whom I accidentally met at Budapest Park creating his biggest ground Labyrinth in Canada (!!!).

I had noticed that and many other wading pool Labyrinths in parks around Toronto before that,

and I thought it was so cool cause every time I saw children and adults really enjoying them.

I was sure it was a City of Toronto’s project of some sort,

BUT it is not!

HïMY is doing it all on his own and hasn’t sought payment for his creations.

He spends time to carefully measure and calculate a very elaborated Labyrinth pattern,

and invests his own money in the art materials.

He worked on this one, for example, for about two years.

He puts so much thought into the way he designs his Labyrinths, and so so much passion!

Just look at HïMY’s t-shirt, and undershirt, and notebook – everything is Labyrinth 😍

And he did his research how to write it in different languages 🙂

Dear @start_streetartoronto and @stepspublicart , I think HïMY totally deserves to be on the artists roster and bring even more of his interactive and meaningful creations to animate the public spaces ❤️

P.S. did you know what is the different between a Maze and a Labyrinth?

I didn’t, and I learnt from HïMY that a Maze has dead ends, but a Labyrinth doesn’t, you will always find your way to the centre ✨”

Noah,

Grateful for your kind, most kind, generous, and unexpected acknowledgement.

Thank you.

“If you’ve ever noticed the intricate beauty of a Labyrinth painted into a splash pad in a Toronto park,

Or even taken a few meditative and reflective minutes to walk its lanes,

You can thank this artist,

HiMY aka @LabyrinthsDOTca

He has made 200 of them across the city,

Unpaid and sometimes without permission.

He takes the time to learn about the people and history of the community so that he can represent them.

He returns to maintain them.

In his words,

They are an “Outstallation” for us each to experience in our own way.

They are a gift for which I am deeply thankful.”

This year,

When this is my kid’s post-school calm down space,

It’s particularly frustrating.

Why can’t we have community art?

Luckily I know it will come back next summer.

It always seems to show up,

Magically in the night,

Until The City destroys it again.”
