11 x 14, hand-cut stack of construction paper
Do you have a certain method of cutting?
For example, how did you achieve these multiple layers in “Anatomical
Evolution”?
Afterglow
Jen Stark
Resembling geographic depictions of differences in altitude: “Microscopic Entry.”
Jen Stark
I cut each layer of paper one by one and then put them together.
I always cut by hand using an X-Acto knife. It is a bit time-consuming, but I like it!
Look at these intriguing, repetitive shapes like eruptions by Miami-based Jen Stark:
Her three-dimensional, kaleidoscopic paper art is simply hand-made with dozens of layers of thick coloured paper. With her abstract geometrical patterns just shown in the new Tactile book by DGV

Roughly how many layers goes into
one piece?
PRIMARIES - Blue
Jen Stark
It can range from about thirty to eighty, depending on the
piece.
PRIMARIES - Red
Jean Stark
And how do you choose the order of the colours in the
stack?
PRIMARIES - Red
Jean Stark
I usually buy a stack and then arrange it how I think the colours look good together.
PRIMARIES - Yellow
Jen Stark
I try to spread them out a bit so they are mixed up and contrasting colours are next to each other.

Coriolis Effect ROLL
Jen Stark
Tendency of any body on the Earth’s surface to drift to the side due to the planet’s rotation is called the “Coriolis Effect “

A metaphor for people’s
multiple inside layers…
“Cylinder”: Paper Cut
Jen Stark
The “Cylinder Paper Cut” with a solid surface that’s cut open caught my eye:
Could we see the paper layers as a symbolic representation of the inner layers of people, or objects…?
Definitely. You are one of the first people to mention this.
Cynlinder Roll
Jen Stark
I like to make the insides very colourfully confusing.
You can relate it to people or things being so complicated and elaborate on the inside. Yet the outside layer is usually white to show that something may look simple and ordinary on the outside – but the inside is beaming with colour!
The Mandala-style “Untitled.” Sculpture 03
Jen Stark
About the mysterious “Untitled”: Is it inspired by
kind of a Mandala? How do you develop it?
It is mainly inspired by geometric patterns. I just cut a shape and slowly change it as the layers progress. With these kind of sculptures I usually don’t know what the end design will look like.

A beautiful “Mold Study.”
Jen Stark
When did you start with your… can I call it“kaleidoscope paper art” ?
I began making paper sculptures when I went to study in France for a semester.
Since I could only take two suitcases with me for five months, I decided to purchase art supplies when I got there. Mold Study
Jen Stark
The Euro was highand everything was pretty expensive, so I decided to get the cheapest but coolest looking thing in the art store – a stack of construction paper!
I startedexperimenting with what paper could turn intoand it took off from there.
“Assorted Explosion”
Jen Stark
About your lovely eruptive “Assorted Explosion:” Is it meant to depict an explosion in its early stage?
Detail of “Assorted Explosion:” imagine how long these most delicate cuts might have taken…
Jen Stark
Exactly! Usually, stacks of construction paper are sold in “assortments” of colour.
So, I wanted to play with that word as well as what it looks like it’s doing: exploding.
A very colourful kind of explosion
and there may be many paper cuts.

Real leaves from the folk’s backyard, meticulously cut out… Jen Satrk
