Jen Stark’s paper sculptures

Paper Anomoly

“Through the process of layering and cutting, Jen Stark creates visual representations of change. Her artwork emphasizes the method of repetition and how it can slowly change over time. Stark challenges the constrictions of paper, a two-dimensional medium, and creates three-dimensional sculptures which display how slight inconsistencies evolve into design. Her work frequently reflects an object’s ability to appear bland on the surface, yet reveal a hidden system of patterning and color.

Stark’s work is inspired by the mutations that life undergoes in the evolutionary process. This interest in tinkering with nature's designs is shown in her recent work, consisting of systematically cut and stacked paper. Her method: trace, alter, cut & stack, allows the artwork to mimic evolution and display a tunnel of natural patterning. The final result also emulates organic growth in both micro and macro organisms.”
