Walking a Labyrinth is like accepting an invitation to pray, meditate, contemplate, dream, celebrate or play;
a place to find inspiration, satisfy a curiosity, examine a metaphor, mythology or simply,
a place to explore liminal space: a ‘betwixt and between’ place . . .
Victor W Turner described liminality as “a fructile chaos, a storehouse of possibilities,
not a random assemblage but a striving after new forms and structures, a gestation process.”
I create labyrinths on the foreshore, betwixt the nearshore and the backshore,
between the low and high water marks to present liminal space as a physical location.
Labyrinths may also be created during liminal time: dusk or dawn and/or solstice or equinox.
The flags surrounding the labyrinth are used for a couple reasons.
In particular, they are used to create a natural acoustic environment.
This auditory experience or sound scape ecology is intended to alter the perception and/or the perspective of visitors, while they are walking the labyrinth.
The flags may also help people find the labyrinth at Spanish Banks.
