"... the observer, with the aid of a microscope, is led into unimaginable minute worlds within the eye of a needle, where mere specks of dust and tiny sections of human hair are fashioned into exquisitely detailed portraits and tableaux leaving the observer, at once, breathless and bewildered." "A comprehensive, full-color, illustrated overview of the lifework of Armenian master violinist and Microminiaturist Hagop Sandaldjian, who meticulously crafted specks of dust and fragments of human hair into over 30 remarkable figurative sculptures contained in the eyes of sewing needles. This catalogue accompanies the Museum of Jurassic Technology exhibition of the same name. More information about the exhibit can be found here.
