Paper Art

Emerging artist Jenny Stark creates art in this original way by cutting cheap and colorful construction paper into sculptures. All her art seems chaotic but is unified by the variations in color of the paper. The work that stands out to me is the one where an indent into the paper stack, is folded outward. This idea of cheap material goes way back on the blog “creativity without” where artist find whatever they can to make creative work. Stark takes her idea and runs with it by making all these piece of art relating to the colorful construction paper.



The pieces where Stark cuts into a plain block of paper, shows that there are more to objects than just the surface of it but also the colorful insides. As I look at the art it almost hypnotizes me with colors similar to the colors of the 70’s. The colors almost represent a hallucination a person can help but look at. Some of the pieces also relate to nature in that it blossoms out in a colorful flower-like hole. The patterns she cuts in are an example of repetition that then make a three dimensional sculpture of paper.
The pieces are all visual but can even give a movement or a sound to it. The colors can be bursting out of the paper with a sound of an explosion. The pieces give the viewer room to think of what could have happed similar to comics juxtaposing panels. No matter what the interpretation, Stark’s art creates potential for future pieces.
