Willard Wigan was born in Birmingham, England in 1957 and is the creator of the smallest works of art on earth. He has a learning disability (Dyslexia), but has talented hands.
Wigan uses a tiny surgical blade to carve his microscopic figures out of rice, grains of sand and sugar, which are then mounted on pinheads. Willard can create a masterpiece within the eye of a tiny sewing needle, on the head of a pin, the tip of an eyelash or a grain of sand, spending months meticulously carving his materials into micro-figures.
