At Helix & Hewn, material is understood as a record of forces rather than a static object. Across science, form emerges from underlying systems—fields, pressures, and gradients acting continuously over time to organize matter into structure. Wood retains these interactions within its grain, preserving evidence of transformation, adaptation, and endurance. Each work engages material not as something to be imposed upon, but as something to be revealed: a physical trace of emergent processes through which resilience and beauty arise.
