Artist Wigan uses a tiny surgical blade to carve his microscopic figures out of rice, grains of sand, and sugar, which are then displayed on items such as pinheads, the tip of an eyelash or even a grain of sand. One of his works is a boxing ring with a Muhammad Ali figure that fits on the head of a match.
Willard Wigan specialises in sculptures that are so small they fit inside the eye of a needle! To view these sculptures you need a microscope!
