Thank you for the Props!
I am continually surprised how well this Chalk Labyrinth I outlined along the False Creek Seawall has held up.
Expected it to be quite faded by now, yet, here we have people still walking it…
I chalked a little Labyrinth about a month ago… and apparently, it might still be there!
As a design motif, many of my Labyrinths include chalk outlines of my shoes stepping towards the entrance.
These footprints are, or were, made in 6th & Fir Park, located beside the start of the Arbutus Greenway.
Quite surprised how long lasting this chalk Labyrinth has turned out to be.
Perhaps there are unique conditions at this very spot, the material of the paver bricks, the sea air around this pocket of South East False Creek, and being a corner that is less frequently walked upon yet beside the desire line of a path where most everyone walks beside.
Who knows?
Last time I re-visited this Labyrinth, I only had to re-chalk red into a few hearts, and re-outline the outer-most perimeter circle wall.
I randomly chalk Labyrinths upon Robson Square in Downtown Vancouver.
Glimpses of the Labyrinth I chalked at the beginning of Vancouver Design Week 2018 can still be seen in these Instagrams…
Mazes may have Minotaurs.
Labyrinths have Love.
I almost always place a Heart in or near the Centre of any Labyrinth I chalk or paint or make.
Including this one I chalked in-between Science World and Creekside Park along the False Creek Seawall in Vancouver…
You’re Very Welcome Auntie Esi!
Happy to hear that!
I have been by this pocket square along the seawall south from Science World many times.
This location is almost impossible to not pass by and look at the view.
Perhaps two weeks ago, someone had outlined a giant heart using roses and stems. It was wonderful and instantly became a must-photograph destination spot.
The flowers wilted away, yet the stems remained in place. People still came, stood in the middle, and snapped a photo or few.
Walking by again a few days ago, I noticed the stems were bunched into a pile and the Heart outline was lost.
Rather than lose that heart outline forever, I pulled out some of the chalk I still had with me, and quickly chalked this Labyrinth.
I didn’t think too much of it.
Passing by since I chalked it, I’ve noticed children walking, rather, running this little Heart Chalk Labyrinth.
ANd now it’s on instagram too!
