Felkner’s Falls

Strangely enough this waterfall is located in the middle of a subdivision in Hamilton (Stoney Creek), Ontario.

Some climbing required to get to the bottom - and rock face climbing to get back up near falls.

Matterwave Redesign, Update, and RELEASE!!!!

Matterwave Relaunched, Foci 1.0 Released!
Matterwave has miraculously re-birthed itself! After much work we’ve emerged with a sleek disciplined hub designed to bring together our showcased artists and provide greater visibility, outlets, and feedback mechanisms for their talent.

Though the work and exhibits here are commissioned by invite only, the products and pages on the hub are meant to be enjoyed by everyone. To start this tradition, we’re announcing the release of our first collaborative work Foci 1.0.

Foci 1.0 is an International showcase of new art from artists of many mediums and perspectives. Everyone involved has been asked to give their work with few directives or other limitations. What we received we’re proud to share with you. The entire exhibit can be viewed online. If you enjoy the work, it is available as a complete archive to download and display digitally wherever, forever.
