Labyrinths within Labyrinths – Wading Pool Labyrinth – Christie Pits Park – Toronto

By HiMY SYeD | Published: Monday June 26, 2017

Many of my Labyrinths include canvas spaces at the turn-arounds for additional artwork. Often I create or paint smaller Labyrinths within the canvas spaces within the larger Labyrinth. Akin to the driving plot point in the movie Inception, Labyrinths within Labyrinths.

“Coasting on my bike” – Wading Pool Labyrinth – Ed McCleverty Equal Access Playground – Toronto

By HiMY SYeD | Published: Monday April 24, 2017

Wading Pools in Toronto’s Public Parks are much more than simply small scale swimming pools for little ones. They can double as Labyrinths after I paint them.
