Jeremy Semones, Art Treasure in the Bon Air Neighborhood

On my race to get the handbills out on Terrier Lane before the rain, I had the good fortune to meet Sculptor Jeremy Semones and learn about his art work.

Jeremy just got some attention in Louisville Magazine for his work on the Louisville Knot.  You can read about it here:

Otherwise, what was really cool was Jeremy's work in his front yard that he made himself: the Cross with the mirror in it.  He gave permission for me to take this picture.


The cross that he has in his front yard is a very profound piece of art work.  I did not think to ask what he called it, but to me the Christian can see themselves in the Cross.  In a very historical sense, Jesus changed the meaning of the cross from a Roman horrifically brutal method of public execution to a symbol of hope. 

It was a great privilege to get to meet him and I hope he can be part of the art vision in the Bon Air Core development strategy.
