A sculpture’s pedestal is a grainSourced
Willard Wigan makes works for tiny spaces
British sculptor Willard Wigan makes works that fit inside needle eyes or on pinheads. In 2010, the BBC reported his model of a Gloucestershire church carved on a grain of sand taken from its churchyard. Viewing such work can require a microscope.
Even a grain can serve as the site of a sculpture.
