Jen Stark is an American artist who creates complex sculptures and animations using layers of paper, giving life to topographical landscapes of colors and shapes. Drawing inspiration from fractals, wormholes, MRIs and human anatomy, Jen Stark constructs new models of the universe, reinterpreting the elements of time, nature and the cosmos with cardboard and glue. Overlapping paper layers that create hypnotic spirals and kaleidoscopes.

His sculptures are made with mathematical coldness but reveal childish exuberance and curiosity. How to dissect a children’s book with surgical precision. Many of his works mimic the organic forms found in nature. The complexity of a flower’s petals, the regularity of a spider’s web, the order of tree rings. Macro and micro science, holograms and Rorschach tests. Inventions of paper, color and space-time continuum.

I believe that light travels, and with that, images from moments in time can move through space.  If you’re able to outrun it, you’re able to see the past and time travel.  I’m fascinated by these types of unsolved questions.
