Hmmm… Depending on how much of the existing Painted lines which make up my Heart Labyrinth survives by the August 25 2019 Pedestrian Sunday, I may redesign the Heart into a New Labyrinth.

This was the final Labyrinth I painted on North Augusta Avenue before the street was re-opened to vehicular traffic this past Pedestrian Sunday Kensington Market.

As I finished chalking, Yvonne Bambrick informed me I had barely 30 minutes to paint the chalk outline of my design, before the cars began rolling through.

I rushed the painting and took every short cut I could to complete at least a single coat of paint atop the chalk outline.

Only one Aglet was transformed into a Heart.

The Heart at the top of the Labyrinth was left with only the outline painted and one long brush roll half-way into the centre of it.

I was shocked, surprised, satisfied with how fast I painted it.

It was walk-able. Which numerous people began to do.

Yet many more people self-organized for group photographs captured atop the Labyrinth.

I’m still basking in the glow, the feeling, the learnings, from this Red Labyrinth.

Something has changed for me.

I can complete painted Labyrinths a LOT faster than I thought.

When Yvonne gave that 30 minute warning, she didn’t dissuade me from beginning to paint, she simply let me factually know I had a deadline.

My mind wanted to blurt out loud, “Challenge Accepted.”

…I kept that to myself.

Humility. The hell with my Hubris.

Result ?

This Red Labyrinth . . .

That’s me painting my first Labyrinth of the Day, on Kensington Avenue in Kensington Market on Pedestrian Sunday . . .

It was HOT.

Then suddenly, as I finished painting this multi-colour Street Labyrinth, a few drops of rain began to cool down the heat.

With the ground now wet, I opted to walk north through the Market towards Augusta Avenue, where I intended to re-paint the three now faded Labyrinths I had painted one month ago, during the previous Pedestrian Sunday.

“Clearly not enough time within the world of Pedestrian Sunday but you have a feeling that there is a future for streets without cars.

It’s the the best parts of the Open Streets TO concept and long standing street festivals like Taste Of The Danforth;

Would very much enjoy City of Toronto giving over more control of our streets to the people.

Where we can remove the need for cars, let’s do it.

Creating spaces to create & inspire, to buy & sell, to meet people, friends and strangers, let’s do it.”
