Labyrinth (in search for the meaning)
Labyrinth is a place for contemplation. There is only one path in and out of the labyrinth, so we can’t get physically lost. However, that frees our minds to wander and get lost in thoughts.
Walking through a labyrinth is a solitary ritual evoking a sense of mystery, contemplation, search for meaning and understanding.
In this labyrinth exit point is opposite from the entry, but it can be approached from either side, (or just view it from the outside-in), which changes the viewer’s perspective and the interpretation of the story.
Protruding from the sand, rock like elements imply something buried in the sand, or washed out from the ocean. In closer view one can see textures and images imbedded in the “rocks” reminiscent of fossils - inviting the viewer to look closer, engage and decipher. You might see a rock that looks like a fragment of an ancient building, or a dinosaur footprint. Some of it might be partially covered by the windblown sand.
The Labyrinth consists of 24 – 30 ceramic “rocks” similar in size and shape, individually made and textured. Images on the surface vary and evoke natural as well as human cultural artefacts. They will be made by the group of makers at ClayMake Studio who will add their personal impressions and interpretation to the story.
All materials are provided by Andrea & ClayMake Studio, and the artwork will remain the physical and intellectual property of Andrea Vinkovic (with acknowledgment of all participants).
