Artist: Jen Stark

Jen Stark is a contemporary artist who is a native working in Miami. Her focus is primarily on paper sculpture, however her drawings are quite beautiful as well. Through the use of her detailed paper-cutting techniques she creates complex structures that reveal how remarkable common materials can become. Her ideas are inspired by microscopic patterns in nature, wormholes, and sliced anatomy. Jen graduated with a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art in 2005 and her work has been exhibited extensively around the US.
I love the patterns and colors. In watching the artist work, I was surprised to see her cutting with an x-acto free-hand, and not using a pattern. Pretty impressive.
