Labyrinth Day 40

Oysterville.  Beached TV.

You’d think I’d ordered this TV scene for my 40th labyrinth.  This is the last of my daily-practice labyrinths as I transition into ‘installing’ the installation at The Washington Center.

Labyrinth Day 39

Oysterville.  For Aunt Marge & Mom.

            For Aunt Marge & Mom

My my mother’s only surviving sibling, my aunt Marge, died on this day.  My aunt spent the last few weeks of her life with my mom, in the same group home on the north side of Spokane.  My aunt Marge was one of my mother’s younger sisters.  The last time I saw my aunt Marge was a couple of years ago, I visited her in her own home.  She met me at her front door looking fabulous with long, full, gray hair that went everywhere.  I hugged her and told her she looked fabulous and she shrugged off the compliment saying in her unmistakable whiskey tenor, “I look like the wild woman of Borneo.”  I loved her.

Labyrinth Day 38

Port of Peninsula on the Willapa Bay, Nachotta.

Last day of summer. Nice making and walking a labyrinth in the sand again!  We’ve kept our small wooden boat, June, here at the Port for the last few weeks.  We pulled her out this evening, so I drew and walked a three-circuit labyrinth at the small beach near the Port.

Labyrinth Day 37

Oysterville.

Planning as prayer is the theme of tonight’s Sharpie-drawn labyrinths, again on the Black Box floor plan.  I’m working with three-circuits, a modified version of the seven-circuit labyrinth.

Right size, wrong location.

Right size, better location.

Right size, right location.

My focus is drawing the labyrinth pattern in relation to the lighting grid, indicated on the floor plan, 6′ on center.  My first pass, 37_1, I drew the center of the labyrinth where I thought I’d want it in the Black Box space, but that pushes the whole labyrinth far against one wall.  37_2 places the labyrinth closer to where I want it.  37_3 works.  That pattern places the labyrinth where I want it and takes into consideration the width of the walls and paths.
