The first image I saw of Jen Stark's paper art excited me! I saw the colors and shapes turn into an intense wheel of endlessness. Stark is a talented American artist who creates her work with an exacto knife and paper. Her geometric and organic lines create crazy colorful patterns through out her work. Stark's works are not small they are huge sculptures of thousands pieces of paper. In her piece sunken sediment the tiny, colorful, organic lines change and form into a geometric star. It is quite beautiful and exciting.  I love how her art is continuous. They remind me of kaleidoscopes, they are beautiful and unstoppable. The piece the highest point is really cool because of the gradual change in colors up to the highest point which is a crazy color wheel. These crazy sculptures also look like crazy space flowers. Another great component to Stark's art are the colors used. She has a fantastic eye for color. Her mix of reds, to yellow, to pink, to blue and so on are what really add to the trippy effect of her art work.
