Micro sculptor Willard Wigan creates the smallest sculptures in the world, some of which are no bigger than a human blood cell, but if you look really carefully - and with the help of a microscope - you can see his works at My Little Eye Gallery in Bloomsbury. The works, which have earned Willard an international following as well as an MBE, are placed in the eye of a needle or on the head of a pin to show how teeny tiny they really are. It baffles the viewer who can't help wondering how he manages to create such microscopic pieces. The appropriately named My Little Eye Gallery gives the delicate art works a permanent home in the city.
