Sisters of Dominican Labyrinth, Design collaboration with
Robert Ferré
When
we began researching information on creating a Chartres labyrinth – our
journey led us directly to “The Chartres Labyrinth Trilogy” by
Robert Ferré.
After months of study, Marty was able to translate his teachings
on how to paint a Chartres labyrinth into creating
a work of art using paving stones. As our personal friendship grew,
it became apparent to us that Robert is the world’s foremost
expert on the sacred geometry contained within the Chartres labyrinth.
Upon the completion of our first Chartres labyrinth in Naperville,
Illinois, we sent Master labyrinth maker Robert Ferré a
few photographs of the project to show him what he had unknowingly
helped us create.
Shortly after receiving them, Robert invited Debi and Marty
to join him in St Louis with 37 other
labyrinth enthusiasts from around the world. The purpose of this
gathering in 1998 was the formation of The Labyrinth Society, currently
numbering over 500 members.
We are proud to announce that in 2002 we combined our extensive
backgrounds and collaborated on two projects. This collaboration
was born of our 20+ years of brick paving artistry and Robert’s
experience of artfully painting over 650 labyrinths. Through a
technique we’ve developed, we are able to produce beautiful,
hand-scored and stained Chartres pattern with full detail at a
cost effective price. One of these projects is this beautiful 47
foot Chartres created for the Dominican Sisters, Congregation of
the Sacred Heart in Houston.
