Alyson Shotz, an American artist, has constructed a picket fence entirely from mirrors that extend in a straight line and do not enclose anything. It was an installation and commission called Mirror Fence. The fence continually changes as it reflects the changes in the landscape through the many seasons, weather and time of day. So this art is ever changing!

Awesome!
I think the fence as it is would be a bit dangerous since the tops are pointed, but if it had a rounded top edge…WOW! Imagine how beautiful it would look enclosing a yard.

Well this beats all I love it. Not easy on an intruder those points would be deadly. I love it

I hate to have to repair it all the time. It would break every time I looked into it.
Sherry Riter says
Ha! Jerel, do I need to give you some links of how important it is to love our self? 😉

What an innovative idea! I’m wondering how much money did it cost to build. I’m guessing a mirror picket fence could be very costly! 🙂

I bet it costs a fortune! LOL
