Willard Wigan

Willard Wigan creates microscopic sculptures that sit within the eye of a needle or pin head. Creating these sculptures is a long and painstaking process. Wigan literally works in between his heartbeat (while holding his breath), and has accidentally inhaled or blew his work away. He started his career in microscopic art when he built houses for ants as a child. Wigan is completely self taught and uses materials such as stray fibers, and the hair off a dead fly to create his art.
