Five Petal Vesica, Contemporary Creative Variation
Design collaboration with Alex Champion
Alex Champion, world reknowned labyrinth maker and earthworks artist,
traveled from his home in California to Illinois to assist Marty with
creating one of his famous Vesica labyrinth designs. The pattern was
drawn by Alex on the buff pavers and the blue inlay was hand cut by Marty
and his 20-year friend/craftsman Jorge.

Double Spiral Labyrinth, Contemporary Creative Variation

The gold spiral
is made from Iowa limestone and the charcoal spiral is created from
New York bluestone. All of the pieces were hand
cut by Marty and his crew to create the images needed to inlay
this labyrinth artwork. Marty explains his feelings about this
design: "Each spiral is independently graceful, however the
two spirals working together as a team become much more than either
one of the spirals could be alone."
