I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt though, and assume you’re only high on life. Or, when gazing into the buffet of colored papers, cocktails of squiggly lines, and waves of ebbing spectrums on the following pages, high on Jen Stark’s work.

Jen Stark begins with very familiar materials and turns them into giant, complex paper sculptures, drawings, and animations.This Miami-based artist, armed with a slab of construction paper, an x-acto knife, pens, and hands seemingly immune to paper cuts, explores the supernatural magnetism and weirdly alternate universes found in the unexplained microcosms of mother nature’s simplest forms.

Jen’s cascading and continuous pieces produce a dual effect where you feel teeny amongst the vortexes, but happy and enlightened at the same time. It’s as if you’ve been swirled into her work, only to find escape and quelling in the nucleus of the far-out astral plane. And, boy, it’s comfortable in there.
