Some Will Say It's Not Art

The metal mantid faces All Saints' up the hill, a joke I bet some Sewanee residents find inappropriate, but not the folks who bought the creature from a folk artist down in the Crow Creek Valley and set it out in their front yard.

Inside the Chapel, sacred art breaks light up into prismatic color that snakes across the walls as the sun moves.  In this yard, profane art lights me up every time I drive by.

Who's to say which has more value?
