Jen Stark and her optical illusions

Jen Stark, an artist from Miami, expresses herself through paper, in a way where the fragile material takes the shape of bright colored vortexes that reproduce the patterns borrowed from the study of biological processes.

She doesn't limit herself to just sculpting it, but she also works with it in drawings and animations, creating topographic landscapes with spirals and the application of stratifications of colored cardboard.
The inspiration comes from the vision of microscopic cells, from meteorology, from fractals and from plates of magnetic resonance. Math and science play a big part in the realization of her work, that actually reveals a playful side in those complex paper flower petals and accurately regulates paper spider's web.
About her art she says: "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."
Stark builds new models of the universe, reinterpreting the elements of time and space.

Her art is psychedelic and hypnotic, calling its viewers to play with this optic illusion and different sides of perspective.
Her most recent work can be seen in the form of a mural on an escalator in the new mall Fashion Outlets of Chicago, where she was commissioned by The Arts Initiative among other artists.
