Willard Wigan is the creator of the smallest works of art in the world. He was humiliated as a child, due to his severe dyslexia and to this day he still can’t read or write well. Told on numerous occasions that he would amount to nothing, Willard retreated to a world where his work could not be seen and therefore could not be criticised.

He began building small homes for ants and insects, eventually developing an ability to sculpt things only viewable under a microscope. To create his works, Willard developed a method of placing himself into a meditative state, slowing his heartbeat, sculpting between beats, in the knowledge that the mere pulse in his finger could destroy his work.
