    The Dream Factory

    Fenders, as cyclists know them, are just useful items for wet weather riding. Real Fenders, as those who are more attuned with the musical sphere can relate, are for strumming, picking, thrashing out power chords and soloing blistering licks.

    Carts Of Darkness

    If you’ve ever battled a supermarket shopping trolley, with wheels going in different directions to where you want to go, you will give massive respect for the street bombing antics of Vancouver’s homeless bottle-collecting shopping-trolley racers.

    New Paths

    The artist is drawn to the cycle, whether it be the cycle of creation, of restoration, of expression.

Peter Šiška uses his hands for restorative art, and his…
