Digging his own grave

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.
