I came accross this today in my travels accross cyberspace.

Statue of liberty in the eye of a needle


Bear cub on a grain of sugar


Cassius Clay v Sonny Liston


Cat on a Hair


These have to be the most amazing things I've seen in a long time. And the description of how he sculpts is amazing as well. Meditating to slow his heartbeat and respiration, and etching between heartbeats as to not destroy the delicate medium.

The smallest sculptures can only be measured in thousandths of an inch which is why they can sit, very delicately, on a human hair three thousandths of an inch thick. When working on this scale he slows his heartbeat and his breathing dramatically through meditation and attempts to harmonise his mind, body and soul with the Creator. He then sculpts or paints at the centrepoint between heartbeats for total stillness of hand. He likens this process to "trying to pass a pin through a bubble without bursting it." His concentration is intense when working like this and he feels mentally and physically drained at the end of it.


One must be extremely calm and centered to have the concentration required to do this. I see it as a yet untapped aspect of the human mind. Total and utter control of even the most delicate of movements.
