Saturday Afternoon spent chalking three Labyrinths in and around the Central Playground of Brampton’s Chinguacousy Park. I was so focused on making the Labyrinths, I only took a few photographs. And altogether forgot to take any photographs of my third Labyrinth, a pass-through baltic design closer to the spray pad area. It was that time […]
Sometimes I include the word for Labyrinth in different languages within or around my Labyrinth designs. Often in chalk, Sometimes in paint. Yet always spellchecked against this list in the back of my Labyrinth Designs notebook . . . View this post on Instagram A post shared by George Longley (@george_art_longley)
Toronto & Vancouver City of Labyrinths is a Project to create public Labyrinths within walking distance of every Torontonian & Vancouverite.
Intended to create safe walking spaces for both play and contemplation.
Labyrinths are placed in parks, public spaces, during neighbourhood street parties or major urban festivals like Pedestrian Sunday Kensington Market in Toronto or Car Free Days in Vancouver.
