All creatures are great and small.

All creatures are great and small.

As a kid, I lived in a fantasy world. I used to believe ants could talk. Not once did they say thank you.

When I was a kid, I had trouble at school because of my learning disabilities. Carving is my body compensating for the lack of other skills.

I started making houses for ants because I thought they needed somewhere to live. Then I made them shoes and hats. It was a fantasy world I escaped to where my dyslexia didn't hold me back and my teachers couldn't criticize me. That's how my career as a micro-sculptor began.

My teacher said my brain was the size of a pea. He made my life miserable by singling me out in the classroom as a failure.

I work between my heartbeat. I have one-and-a-half seconds to actually move. And at the same time I have to watch I don’t inhale my own work.
