In the bottom left corner of this photograph,
You can spot a cyclist walking her bike atop my Robson Square Labyrinth . . .
Thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of Vancouverites & Vancouver visitors enjoyed & explored or eyed the Robson Square Labyrinth while it was there.
It’s gone now.
The temporary Public Space that was 800 Robson Street, is being transformed into 800 Robson Plaza . . .
This may be one the last photographs of my Labyrinth I painted in Robson Square, Downtown Vancouver.
The temporary car-free public space experiment has been made officially permanent.
Soon, the makeshift block long plaza will be redone with a final design.
Thank you City of Vancouver for NOT removing the Labyrinth I painted there.
It was walked by thousands of Vancouverites, enjoyed by thousands of Visitors.
So long Robson Square Labyrinth.

” Surpresa e alegria ao encontrar assim ,do nada , um rapaz sentado segurando um guarda-chuvas no meio de uma praça fazendo um convite silencioso.
Eu entendi assim: – Vem, faça um contato visual por alguns minutos, em silêncio, pela PAZ. Assim foi, sentei na frente daquele estranho e por alguns momentos estivemos em contato.
Em momentos assim, o contato maior é com você mesmo. Uma reconexão poderosa.
Que bom que algumas pessoas investem seu tempo e seu amor em movimentos tão importantes e singelos como esse.
E você?
O que você tem feito pela paz?
Pode ser um pouquinho, aonde quer que você esteja.
Pratique.”
My recent repainting of two of the green arcs to a bright red, to complement the repainting of the yellows, as seen in this image really makes all the colours pop!
All three primary colours, plus green for the outside boundary, looking good!
I am grateful.
When I first painted this Labyrinth in Robson Square, the idea of also painting the words “Robson Square Labyrinth” along the outside of it remained with me for some time.
I eventually opted to leave it and like Art Installations on display inside the Gallery, my lack of “Labeling” my Giant Outstallation Art allows people to interpret it or choose to refer to it as a maze instead of a Labyrinth, as they wish.
Happy Walking!
