As I created this piece, I felt I was channeling my Nordic ancestors. This rock has held me many times, especially during this chaotic pandemic. I wanted to honor the rock and the gods with an offering of my affection. As I created the Icelandic helm, The Helm of Healing, I let my inner voice-my intuition, guide me through the design. Within the helm, energy has been exerted in different ways as the lines spawned existence through my fingertips. It awakened something deep inside me, a beat of a drum or new-found flame.
