Willard Wigan, MBE (born June 1957) is a British sculptor from Ashmore Park Estate, Wednesfield, England, the son of Jamaican immigrants, who makes micro miniature sculptures. His sculptures are typically placed in the eye of a needle or on the head of a pin. A single sculpture can be as small as 0.005 mm (0.0002 in).
As a child with Dyslexia and Asperger Syndrome, neither of which were diagnosed until adulthood, Willard was ridiculed in class by his primary school teachers for not learning to read. He attributes his early drive in sculpting, which began at the age of five, to his need to escape from the derision of teachers and classmates. He wanted to show the world that nothing did not exist, deducing that if people were unable to view his work, then they would not be in any position to criticise it. Wigan has since aimed to make even smaller artworks, visible only with a microscope. His very critical of his own work and stays up all night and well into the day sometimes, striving for perfection on each piece he creates. He is a Master of his craft and if ever there was such a thing as perfection, it is the works of Willard Wigan.
Astounding. :clap :thunbsup
