Willard Wigan makes microsculptures that are so small they’re displayed in the head of a needle and are invisible to the naked eye.

Mr. Wigan's art has nothing to do with NanoArt. Unfortunately, it was misplaced in the NanoArt category. His works are miniature sculptures. They can not be categorized even as microsculptures since they are actually observable with naked eye. NanoArt can not be viewed even with optical microscopes. To view nanosculptures and nanolandscapes, one would need electron microscopes. Nanosculptures are within the size range of 0-100 nanometers (1 nanometer is approximately 80,000 times smaller than the human hair diameter). For more details, please refer to http://nanoart21.org
