Chartres Labyrinth, Private Residence
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 Ferre. After months of study, I 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 Ferre a few photographs of the
project to show him what he had unknowingly helped us create. Shortly
after receiving them, Robert invited my wife, Debi and I 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
patterns with full detail at a cost effective price. One of these projects
is
this beautiful 47 foot Chartres labyrinth on a private estate in New
Jersey.
