About
Communion: The Labyrinth Project
A multimedia installation designed to be “walked,” Communion: The Labyrinth Project draws on myth, mysticism, prayer, and ritual. The installation is a sculptural autobiography constructed from the artist’s personal artifacts ranging from 16mm film reels to platform shoes and integrates video and sonic art. It is an offering that invites others to engage with the work in a meditative way.
“While the material of the labyrinth issues from my life, my hope is that those who walk this labyrinth will spiral through their own lives, that each person considers the artifacts of his or her own past no matter how seemingly mundane with a kind of sacred intention to embrace the past, to let it go, and to make way, less encumbered, for insight, fresh experiences, and new meaning.” - Marilyn

Deconstructing the Installation
The day following the public exhibition of the installation, the creative process of this work continues as artist Marilyn Freeman deconstructs The Labyrinth and discards each piece.
Creating Labyrinths with Others
Communion: The Labyrinth Project is envisioned as an ongoing creative process of co-creating and deconstructing labyrinths with different groups working with their respective life artifacts and meditative intentions. If you are interested in having Marilyn work with a group to create a labyrinth contact her directly at marilyn@wovie.com.

Marilyn,
I just logged on to your site in hopes of contacting you. I’m the person who had the Tumwater Hill labyrinth in my back yard. As I mentioned to you, United Churches (at 11th and Capitol) has a labyrinth walk every 1st Sunday at 6:00 pm in the chapel. Also, there’s a laybrinth walk in the Social Hall on the 1st Friday at 5:30ish. The Chapel laby is Santa Rosa; the Social Hall is Chartre.
I would love to meet with you to talk about the next United Churches project—an outdoor labyrinth! Anyway–if you’re open to talking about this I would love to have coffee with you or tea or whatever.
I am intriegued by your idea of an on-going creative process….
Thanks again for your very creative installation!
