Finally! The design for 2013 is finished, and the crew is working on getting it cut into the field!
The inspiration for this year’s maze started with thinking about octopi, which are one of my favorite animals.
I collected a lot of images of octopi, but I realized that an octopus wasn’t quite exciting enough on its own…but a giant squid, or better yet, a Kraken, is definitely maze-worthy.
Once I settled on the squid, I found some old maps that had sea monsters and often really ornate compass roses, which worked well.
I tried to fit in some other images, like the face of the wind blowing and the ship sailing over the edge of the world, but they didn’t work within the size of the field.
