“Have you noticed this colourful little maze outside the Vancouver Art Gallery? 🎨” – Robson Square Labyrinth – Downtown Vancouver

By HiMY SYeD | Published: Saturday July 28, 2018

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!

Have you noticed this colourful little maze outside the Vancouver Art Gallery? 🎨 . . . . . #outdoorart #artiseverywhere #vancouverartgallery @vanartgallery #robsonstreet #downtownvancouver #vancity #vancouver #vancouverart #sunnyday #summer2018 #summertime #🎨

“START” – Chalk Labyrinth – Granville Street Intersection – Downtown Vancouver

By HiMY SYeD | Published: Thursday July 26, 2018

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. • • • #labyrinth #lightworkersunion #local403 #yyc #alberta #memorialdrive #fstoppers #ig_worldphoto #igtones #eclectic_shotz #ingeniousleague #leagueoflenses #createandcapture #creativecontentbuilders #killyourcity #nikonartists #ig_underdogz #photographyisart #grittyside #nikonelove #fatalframes #elusivecaptures #shotzdelight #moodygrams #theimaged #urbangathering #urbanaisle

“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.”

“Unraveling the maze.” – False Creek Seawall – Olympic Village – Vancouver Public Labyrinth

By HiMY SYeD | Published: Wednesday July 25, 2018

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…

“It’s time to get lost in the W E E K E N D ! 💓” – Chalk Labyrinth – Second Annual Strathcona Street Party – Vancouver Mural Festival

By HiMY SYeD | Published: Friday July 20, 2018

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…

It’s time to get lost in the W E E K E N D ! 💓

“All roads lead to you.❤️” – Robson Square Labyrinth – Downtown Vancouver

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…

All roads lead to you. ❤️ #robsonstreet

“Amazing!! 🙌🙌😎 🚲 .” – Chalk Heart Labyrinth – Science World – Vancouver

By HiMY SYeD | Published: Tuesday July 17, 2018

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!

“Someone drew a Labyrinth on the cement so I walked it spontaneously.” – Charlene Wolff – Chalk Labyrinth – North East False Creek Seawall – Vancouver

By HiMY SYeD | Published: Monday July 16, 2018

That someone be…

Me!

I’ve re-chalked Labyrinths in this exact location a number of times now.

It seems to be appreciated.

Someone drew a labyrinth on the cement so I walked it spontaneously. A labyrinth always reminds me of one of my clients who wrote books on them and had one in her backyard. Love them! Loved my time with her and her husband.
