Friday Favorite: Jen Stark

10/12/2012

This Friday’s Feature artist is Jen Stark!
She received her BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art and creates amazing and intricate sculptures of bright paper, each one built — layer by layer — completely by hand.

Her kaleidoscopic artwork brings to mind geodes and topographic maps.

In one interview, she stated:
My work definitely emulates nature.
I love how nature is a vast unknown that we have barely begun to understand.
I hope to evoke a similar feeling of awe and mystery in my artwork.
I enjoy the layers of topographical maps.

TGIF!
