“Dolphin teeth out, ready for a shark attack” – Labyrinth – Wading Pool – Christie Pits Park – Toronto

By HiMY SYeD | Published: Friday July 31, 2020

I visited the Wading Pool in Christie Pits Park in Toronto the other night.

Unlike the kid in this photograph, I wasn’t wearing a Shark T-Shirt.

Had brought paint supplies with me to repaint the fading lines like the ones you can ( or cannot! ) see here.

Even after sunset, the surface was too wet to re-paint the lines.

I repainted in green wherever the recently added white caulking had interrupted the painted Labyrinth Lines and left at that for now.

Hopefully I can refresh the design in September . . .

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World – Christie Street Traffic Island Labyrinth – Toronto

By HiMY SYeD | Published: Friday July 17, 2020

I had no idea my Labyrinth appeared in the Graphic Novel, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

So I went and finally watched the movie for the first time tonight.

My Labyrinth wasn’t in the Movie.

If I am not mistaken then,

My Christie Street Traffic Island Labyrinth appears in the opening pages of VOLUME ONE TWO of the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World Graphic Novel . . .

“The Scott Pilgrim-age.

The Christie Station Labyrinth from the opening spread of vs. The World.

Located on the street island right outside the Christie Subway Station”

“Labyrinth by HiMY SYeD, Primrose Avenue Parkette” – Toronto

By HiMY SYeD | Published: Wednesday July 1, 2020

I had just visited this Labyrinth in Primrose Avenue Parkette the evening before Randy posted his image on Instagram.

How rare timing !

I was there repainting several of the Labyrinth Lines that had faded.

A few of the lines had disappeared entirely,

Making any Labyrinth Walk confusing.

I only brought a single tint of green paint,

so the Labyrinth has been restored,

yet my original mathematical colour logic no longer visually works.

But who cares?

You can once again easily walk the Primrose Avenue Parkette Labyrinth !

Repainting – Labyrinth – Wading Pool – Geary Avenue Parkette – Toronto

By HiMY SYeD | Published: Tuesday June 30, 2020

Labyrinth I painted on the surface of the Wading Pool in Geary Avenue Parkette.

Upon my arrival,

I was surprised at the nuanced gesture of two spirals drawn in the umlaut dots atop the letter ï in my signed name.

The colours, different tints of green, are still visible and viable as Lines of the Labyrinth.

Only the two half circles which extend onto the cement deck surrounding the wading pool were in need of a repaint.

I added a Heart in the centre of the Labyrinth.

Also added the Pi symbol π in the triangle of the Labyrinth connecting the centre and the outer wall.

I was tempted to paint some more art to complement the existing design, yet decided adding an arrow pointing towards the entrance of the Labyrinth was just the right final touch.

“Beautiful Afternoon for Salsa Dancing” – Labyrinth Pier – False Creek South – Vancouver

By HiMY SYeD | Published: Sunday June 28, 2020

Before painting Labyrinths on this Pier overlooking Alder Bay in Vancouver,

I asked as many neighbourhood people as I could,

what regular events happened in this public space ?

Beyond an annual one day community garage sale / swap meet,

nothing happened else was programmed here.

It might be that my painting several Labyrinths here, transforming this pier into Labyrinth Pier, plus the Pandemic shutting down many indoor events, has brought out this Salsa Dance class . . .
