19 Labyrinthine Designs
From Pen Playgrounds to Sound and Light Labyrinths:
Meghan Young — Nov 3, 2009 — Art & Design
I used to have this recurring nightmare as a child in which I would get lost in mazes. To this day I have never been able to beat the maze; I just wake up in a cold sweat midway through, despairingly giving up. This cluster filled with labyrinthine designs is my way of overcoming my latent fear of mazes. The next step would be to mimic Kanye West’s haircut.
