Hexabrynth

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

My friend hamish makes large-scale interactive sculptures. His current work is a giant hexagonal labyrinth
(lab´ rinth´) A circular pattern featuring a serpentine but clear path to the center. Labyrinths were set as mosaics into the floors of Gothic cathedrals and represented a symbolic journey to Jerusalem. Pilgrims would walk the labyrinth to the center and back out again in a kind of walking meditation made of cloth, with an organic demon inflatable sculpture at the centre- the course of the labyrinth is nearly half a kilometer! Walking the labyrinth, round and round, is a meditative journey. Direction and orientation are irrelevant, all that matters is the journey.

Notes for a happy life #14

If: you are talking to your neighbour
And: You feel something you dont recognise in the pocket of your greasy, sweaty overalls
Then: leave it in your pocket until after neighbour has gone.
Else: it may turn out to be a used condom, complete with knotted top, and neighbours eyes may bug out on stalks.
