Sculptures So Small You'll Need a Microscope

Про це відео

Artist Willard Wigan has spent six decades creating astonishing miniature sculptures, works so small they can fit in the palm of your hand and are only visible under a microscope. His record-breaking sculpture pieces are crafted from tiny materials like grains of sand and flecks of gold, with tools he makes himself from needles, diamond shards, and even human eyelashes. Inside the eye of a needle, Willard builds entire worlds, Mount Rushmore, the Last Supper, even the Moon Landing. He holds the record for the smallest sculpture ever made, measuring just a few micrometers, and continues to redefine what an artist can create at the limits of human vision. #sculpture #microscope #artist Welcome to Great Big Story, where the extraordinary hides in plain sight.
