How does Jen Stark transform paper into colorful 3-D artworks?
Contemporary artist Jen Stark creates bold sculptures, inspired by patterns found in nature, out of brightly colored paper. The Los Angeles-based artist studied animation and textile art, and works in a variety of media, from wood to fibers. She uses the full spectrum of the rainbow in her mesmerizing paper sculptures. She cuts sheets of paper and then glues them together in layers to form her three-dimensional designs.
In this piece, titled Over and Out, Stark creates a sense of depth and texture by carefully arranging the vibrantly colored paper. She layers analogous colors (side-by-side on the color wheel) such as red, orange, and yellow. The eye-popping sculpture resembles the petals of a flower in bloom.
