What is this? It’s a fence. It’s art. It could be worse. It could be those heads/sculptures of disturbed people going in at the commuter line rail in WashCo.

From the Tri Met web site:

Division Street Light Rail Station, Portland, OR

A 500′ long sculptural “fence” will create a vibrant presence at a light rail station along the I-205 freeway. The sculpture will be visible from many perspectives: an overpass, three lanes of highway traffic, rail passengers, and a pedestrian/bike trail. From different perspectives the fence line will shift from solid to transparent.

Materials: vinyl-clad fencing fabric, steel

Commissioning Agency: Tri Met
