My Name is Helme

The Wizard of Odd

A long while back,
a dear friend handed me a key—
one that unlocked the quiet lie
that I was not creative.

Now she calls me
the Wizard of Odd.

I work in words—spoken, written—
and in the shaping of things.

Building has always been
my native language.

My art reaches toward the endless—
the many-layered soul of being human.

I’m not content to simply ask
what it means to be alive;
I wander deeper,
into the ways we move through our days—
how our differences and our sameness
braid together
to make a world.

As a maker,
a builder of small magics and wide-open spaces,
I aim to leave doors ajar—
for hope,
for joy,
and for play
to find their way in.
