Slide 3: 

Golden Galleon, a two masted cutty rigged schooner sitting on the head of a diamond is typical of the dimensions of his micro sculptures.

Slide 4: 

Mr. Wigan "At times, when I'm working on a piece, I might come to believe that I myself am microscopic. That's how involved in my work I become. My tiny world becomes everything to me.”

Slide 5: 

His sculptures are undetectable to the eye yet, when viewed through high power magnification, a viewer is truly mesmerized.

Slide 6: 

Mr. Wigans sculpts while in a kind of meditative state and between heartbeats to avoid hand tremors.

Slide 7: 

His tools are unique, comprising for example: a shard of diamond drilled into the head of a pin and a single eyelash or a hair from a fly.

Slide 8:
