Before you can enter the Labyrinth,
Someone has to make it.
So that someone is me,
Holding paint can and brush,
Looking serious and rocking my Kensington Labyrinth T-Shirt in Kensington Market,
While painting Labyrinths on Augusta Avenue during Pedestrian Sunday Kensington Market in Downtown Toronto . . .
Here I am painting a Heart Labyrinth on Augusta Avenue during Pedestrian Sunday Kensington Market using the unexpected colour of yellow rather than the expected colours of red or pink when it comes to matters, and Labyrinths, of the Heart.
However,
I did use Red/Pink coloured chalk to outline my Heart Labyrinth design, so maybe this Yellow Heart Labyrinth was really Red/Pink after all ?
Before I even finished painting the outer most line, a couple walked through all the way to the centre where they then stood and kissed each other.
Who needs mistletoe above your head when you have a Heart Labyrinth below your feet !
“No meu último final de semana nessa cidade maravilhosa conheci o Kensington Market.
Um local jovem, descolado, onde você pode encontrar de tudo: comida das mais diversas etnias, peixes, doces, pães, queijos e frios, roupas, flores, e, como não poderia deixar de ser, diversos espaços artísticos cheios de vida e muita música.
Toronto, uma cidade que sempre nos surpreende 🇨🇦”
… AND Labyrinths !
I painted five of them on Augusta Avenue along the east side of Bellevue Square Park on the first official Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market.
PSK was suspended during 2020 and 2021 due to the Pandemic.
I painted this Labyrinth on Augusta Avenue last year. . .
This last Sunday of 2020,
Would have been this year’s final Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market.
Alas,
Car-Free Days were axed this year.
Hopefully PSK can return in 2021.
The formerly Red Labyrinth I painted on Augusta Avenue during the August 2019 Pedestrian Sunday,
I later repainted with many colours . . .
It’s February and you can still make out the painted lines of the Labyrinth I painted on Augusta Avenue during 2019’s Pedestrian Sundays in Kensington Market, Downtown Toronto . . .
Here is Shamez Amlani with his Bicycle atop the Heart Labyrinth I painted during Pedestrian Sunday in the Baldwin & Augusta Avenue intersection in Kensington Market.
Shamez is one of the four original Co-Founders of Streets Are For People, who championed Pedestrian Sundays in Kensington Market (and in two other Toronto Neighbourhoods as well).
He’s also my friend and has always supported the Toronto City of Labyrinths Project!
That’s me (re)painting the Heart Labyrinth in the middle of the Baldwin & Augusta “T” Intersection during Pedestrian Sunday Kensington Market . . .
That’s me painting the Heart Labyrinth in the middle of the Baldwin and Augusta Avenue Intersection in Kensington Market during the previous Pedestrian Sunday . . .
Squint closely and you might spot me sporting my blue Labyrinth shirt while painting the farthest most Labyrinth in this image . . .
Looking north on Augusta Avenue showing two of the four Labyrinths I painted here . . .
