american artist jen stark creates three-dimensional pieces which take paper
to a whole new level of sculpture. in works such as 'sunken sediment',
stark takes construction or acid-free colored paper and intricately cuts each sheet
with an X-acto knife, layering the paper into a topographical landscape of color and bold shapes.
other works such as 'centrifugal' or 'the highest point' see overlapping paper
spiraling into a kaleidoscopic effect of color, mesmerizing the viewer and drawing them
into the work.
