the Quote Walls
|
The University of Manitoba and the Manitoba Labyrinth
Network unveiled two Quote Walls on Tuesday, September 23. The
quote walls are a unique component of The Carol Shields Memorial
Labyrinth. No other labyrinth in the world has an entry way designated
in this manner.
The two Quote Walls feature engraved granite tiles of different
textures which display a myriad of quotes from Carol Shields’
works. Anyone entering the labyrinth will pass through Carol’s
words. This will physically signify the escape from daily life
and the entrance into story, myth and imagination through sight,
touch and experience. |
We are raising funds for Phase 2 of the project which
will include interpretive signage, a gathering area and reading circles.

"A labyrinth
is a complex path. That's it. It's not necessarily something complicated
or classical as you might think. . . A maze, though, is different
from a labyrinth. . . A maze is more likely to baffle and mislead
those who tread its paths. A maze is a puzzle. A maze is designed
to deceive those travellers who seek a promised goal. It's possible
that a labyrinth can be a maze, but strictly speaking the two words
call up different ideas."

The Carol Shields Memorial
Labyrinth is a story.
A story that
is growing and evolving! |
And the story started
with - Carol Shields!
