Whirligigs
The unique Windmill Farm is a remarkable collection of elaborate "whirligigs" produced by local outsider folk artist Vollis Simpson. The works incorporate complex movement and sound as a integral part of the more than 30 works designed and constructed on Simpson's property. Simpson's welded and painted constructions are large in scale and have been exhibited at The North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, NC, The High Museum of Art in Atlanta, The Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, MD, at the inner harbor, and are featured in downtown Raleigh, two blocks from the Exploris Museum. Simpson has been featured in several publications including Sign and Symbol, People, Newsweek, Time Magazine, and other popular books and publications.
