Digging his own grave
Alex Perri
Lexington artist John Fortuna’s property is sprinkled with his handiwork. His home, a 1,200-square-foot geodesic dome, he hand-built with his brother’s help. Inside, the space is covered with his award-winning artwork. In his yard are two more domes he’s built to house his peacocks and chickens.
