This is a beautiful park area in the center of Fountain Hills. The park is full of pieces or art, but none as large as this pair of glasses. The lenses have 'intentional' warps in them to distort the reflection somewhat. (sort of like the old magic mirrors) You can take 'selfies' there, but getting the right angle may be the issue! This project started in 2015, was approved by Civic and Cultural Association in 2016, and was installed after the footings were installed and finished later in 2016. The artist is Don Kenworthy. The sculpture was donated by Bart and Cheryl Shea, Shea Connelly Development.
