Through the eye of the needle

I just discovered the work of Willard Wigan. His sculptures are incredibly so tiny that they are created within the eye or tip of a needle. His materials are made from dust particles.

As I was looking this up, I also discovered Ron Mueck. He makes huge, life-like sculptures... a little freaky. I thought it would be interesting to post some of his work as well though, to show the contrast of working with the very small and the very large.

I feel a bit like Gulliver.

The Lyrebird can replicate pretty much any sound it hears. Incredible!


This fish, Macropinna microstoma, is basically transparent. It lives at a depth of 700-800 m, where there is almost no oxygen or light.
