Kate Helms Analysis

Kate Helms is a Floridian artist that creates art in order to make a statement on the environment around her. “I began to see humans’ influence in the environment as a sort of death by a thousand paper cuts” was what she said during her lecture on October 14 when she expanded on her inspirations. Helms’ words illustrated how what humans caused on the environment will continue to damage nature even as they attempt to mend the disasters. Although such influence could have inspired her to take an emotional approach to her art, Kate Helms has taken a more rational, mathematics, and logistic process in the making of her sculptures. She explained how her background as an environmental scientist led to the way she gives a meaning to her pieces.
