…Helmick’s new works bring to mind artists as different as Rodin, Giacometti and H.C. Westermann… Like Giacometti, he is not afraid of subjecting his hands and heads to cool mutilations. And like Westermann, he has turned out highly crafted objects that look crisp and clear-cut but give rise to feelings of insoluble mystery..
