Material establishes the problem. Geometry constitutes the intervention.

Helix & Hewn creates mixed-media sculpture from hardwood, metal, polymer, stone, and other industrial materials.

Each work begins with the specific conditions of the material—grain, voids, knots, fissures, proportion, and structural irregularity. Rather than concealing those conditions, the sculpture responds to them through precise geometric interventions: inserted planes, suspended blocks, channels, apertures, projections, and constructed voids. Influenced by Constructivism, Suprematism, and related traditions of geometric abstraction, the work explores the tension between natural contingency and imposed order. Wood retains evidence of growth, damage, and chance; rectilinear elements introduce control, interruption, support, containment, compression, or escape. The resulting objects are neither conventional woodworking nor purely formal abstraction. They are material propositions in which unlike substances and opposing systems are brought into deliberate spatial relationships. Light, shadow, reflection, and changing viewpoints extend those relationships beyond the physical object, allowing each sculpture to shift subtly with its environment.
