Prepare to be a-mazed.
Claremont Park in north London's Brent Cross Town is home to a psychedelic-looking maze this summer. It's free to check out/get lost in, and what's more, it's evolving as the weeks go by.
Called simply 'The Maze', the 16.5m x 8.5m walk-through puzzle is an homage to the New London Fabulous art movement (luminaries of which include Nathaniael Furman, Yinka Ilori and Camille Walala, although in this case, these particular artists aren't involved.)
Three vibrant artists, however, are getting in on the action: Sweden's Amara Por Dios has already contributed a panel for the maze. Meanwhile Brighton's Lois O'Hara (who "embraces the energies and positive effects of colour on people and places") and Josephine Hicks (known as Hixxy, her 'Left Field Tutti-Fruity' style is grounded in collage and printmaking) will be creating their own panels live on site (O'Hara on 27-28 July, and Hicks on 10-11 August), so you can watch them do that, and tackle the maze while you're there.
There's a chance for you to get involved in the maze's creation too; from 5-29 September, it becomes a highlight of the London Mural Festival, the capital's largest street art celebration, and visitors will be invited to participate in the creation of a large-scale mural for the maze during a weekend workshop.
