Quilted Denim Labyrinth

Our unique labyrinth embodies the essence of the feminine archetype not just in its design. It is created from recycled blue jeans, patched or quilted together to make the base. The 11-circuit Chartres pattern is made from a 740' cord which has been braided from donated fabric, clothing and trim. It resembles an umbilical cord as it winds and turns to mark the meandering path of the labyrinth. The petal design in the centre, as well as the labrys, are marked by a garden of magical flowers that have been transformed from donated bras of all colours and sizes. These materials hold a myriad of women's stories. Groups of women have joined us in this labour of love, helping us sew the braid to the denim base, in the tradition of women who have been braiding, quilting, sewing, recreating and transforming since the beginning of time.
