Artist Spotlight: Phillip K. Smith III

I just came across this piece by American installation artist, Phillip K. Smith III, and wanted to share.

The piece, located in Joshua Tree, California, is titled "Lucid Stead."

Smith uses mirrors to give an illusion of transparency.

I think it's really cool he was able to use something as simplistic as mirrors to make it look like we are looking straight through the slats of the building.

By day...
