My Labyrinth Designs often include Canvas Spaces at the turn-arounds. You can see two such rectangular spaces in the “Scarboro Labyrinth” in the wading pool in Prairie Drive Park. One with my name, and another without any artwork in it. Perhaps Vertical Art like this Plastic Oasis piece can be placed in those squares and […]

You can see two such rectangular spaces in the “Scarboro Labyrinth” in the wading pool in Prairie Drive Park.

One with my name, and another without any artwork in it.

Perhaps Vertical Art like this Plastic Oasis piece can be placed in those squares and rectangles, leaving the Labyrinth path walkable without obstruction . . .

Growing up in Toronto, one invariably will travel the subway system. For years, just east of the Victoria Park station, I would spot this wading pool in the park officially known as Prairie Drive Park but most people think of it as the south end of Warden Woods.

Growing up in Toronto, one invariably will travel the subway system. For years, just east of the Victoria Park station, I would spot this wading pool in the park officially known as Prairie Drive Park but most people think of it as the south end of Warden Woods.

I always thought of the many thousands of people who look through the window of the subway train, and see this empty circle of concrete.
