Who we are

At Helix & Hewn, we breathe new life into forgotten materials — transforming them into unique works of conversational art.

To us, every piece is a living archive — a record of resilience, renewal, and the quiet genius of nature’s design. Our craft is more than creation; it’s the art of uncovering beauty hidden in plain sight. Our pieces seek to invite reflection and exchange — encouraging viewers to linger, to ask questions, to share insights.

Founded by a former biomedical researcher, Helix & Hewn draws its inspiration from patterns that shape all living things. Scientific discovery often begins with curiosity — with the act of looking closer, finding meaning in what others might pass by.

That same curiosity guides our craft. Where one discipline seeks to decode the story of life written in our genes; the other honors the life etched into reclaimed materials.

Helix & Hewn stands where scientific inquiry meets soulful craft and where every piece encourages conversation about the beauty of what endures.

Founder and Owner, Robert E. Bakin, Ph.D.
