{ Jen Stark }

So I typically don't post sculptures on this site because I always feel like so much gets lost in flattening them out to 2D. However, after finding these artfully executed photographs of Jen Stark's amazing paper sculptures, I had to change my mind. (I want to say: these images (the first three) create anew in their replication, they take their 2-D format as opportunity not limitation, whereas most sculpture photography (the fourth image), forfeits the art in being content to merely reproduce it.) Anyways, I really admire her sense of color and her willingness/desire to create such vibrant works. And then there is the utterly astounding meticulousness of each of her sculptures, which, in a sense, echos the theme of their colors: you can just tell that so much life was poured into these...and thus meant to be drank from them.
