Spirit Level's Blog

Why Spirit Level?


I have been fascinated by Spirit Levels ever since I was a child.  Among all the rigid metal and wood of dad's workshop was an anomaly:  a thing with a fluid and unpredictable element.  When I was barely old enough to crawl I was staring at the bubble in the level and seeing how the slightest movement caused the bubble to move violently to one side.

As I grew older it was a useful tool for myself.  It let me know if a walkway was even, or if there were any lumps within a long sheet of clay I wanted to turn into something hot-fired and straight.  But the fascination was always there.

In my approach for life my artwork seeks to illuminate a common ground with all pathways--I exult in differences because it only illustrates the great common ground we all have:  We are searching for ourselves in our search for truth...and or mysteries...and beauty.

Like a spirit level I want my artwork to reflect this commonality.

We are all spirit levels.

Please stay in touch.  This is where I will be opening avenues for my artwork, illustration...and not a few artistic struggles!

Best
