I'm glad you posted this...Vollis Simpson lives about an hour's drive from
me...I keep saying I'm going to see his art and I keep forgetting about it.
I will definitely visit this summer.

>The work of an outsider artist named Vollis Simpson. His motion
machines were in the film "Twister". The member uses examples of his
work in a lesson plan that ties Newton's laws of motion to creating
motion art. The Science Museum of Minnesota has a wonderful site that
explores Mr. Simpson's wind driven art works, and gives many links to
lessons and ideas for other kinetic student art projects, including
pinwheels.

Just thought I'd pass it on to all who are doing Pinwheels for Peace -
might want to make a connection.
