 Whirligigs
Whimsical, wind-driven whirligigs featuring belted cows, bicycles
and animals greet visitors and residents to Fearrington Village. The
elaborately engineered and colorful sculptures were created by North
Carolina artist Vollis Simpson. Now in his late 80s, Vollis
continues to create whirligigs, although on a much smaller scale, at
his workshop in Lucama near Wilson, NC. Vollis' work can be
found at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, the American
Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, and the annual Whirligig Festival
in Wilson. |
