Fence of Mirrors Reflects the Changing Landscape By Alyson Shotz

By Sherry Riter 6 Comments

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!

Acrylic, wood, aluminum, hardware
138 feet x 36 x 4 inches (42.06 m x 91.44 x 10.16 cm)
installation view at Storm King Arts Center, 2010-12

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.

    I hate to have to repair it all the time. It would break every time I looked into it.

    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! 🙂
