2″ x .5″, found objects
This tiny level came with a french cleat that I bought to hang a project, and I loved its size. Fits in any pocket, and I found it was actually good reminder for one of my favorite goals, balance. The idea of finding level is complex when it’s a life that has to be leveled and not a painting. But even the tiny level in my pocket was rarely balanced. I made this pendant to explore, once again, how it feels to be precariously balanced and to know that if just one thing falls out of place, the rest will come crashing down too. But I found something to be true of this little guy that’s also true in my life. When it’s out and about, it’s never in balance, but when it’s resting, it finds level.
