Micro-sculptures by Willard Wigan take a steady hand (30 Photos)

March 8, 2012 | In: Art, Awesome, Mind Blowing

Follow Bob on Tapiture

: These amazing works by Willard are so minute that they are only visible through a microscope. Each piece commonly sits within the eye of a needle, or on a pin head. The personal sacrifices involved in creating such wondrous, yet scarcely believable pieces are inconceivable to most. Willard enters a meditative state in which his heartbeat is slowed, allowing him to reduce hand tremors and sculpt between pulse beats. Even the reverberation caused by outside traffic can affect Willard’s work. Consequently, he often works through the night when there is minimal disruption.

Impressive, but making art that no one can really see without the aid of sophisticated equipment?
Don't really see the point.

I think I laughed harder than I should have at this.

tristlo

Saw a documentary on dyslexia and he was featured – he credits this to his teachers telling him he was too stupid to amount to anything – and to a microscope he "borrowed" when he was assumed to slow to use it.

Amazing chap!

Not a fan

I wish i was told i was too stupid to amount to anything. Maybe i wouldnt be such a loser.

#18 Never realized that Hulk had boobs. Must've been cuz I wasn't using a microscope to see them.

#11 #29 Wonder if all the characters get stuck in your clothes if you try to sew with these needles.
