Inspired by the hidden power of natural forces, Miami-based Jen Stark produces intricate, hand-cut paper explosions with an X-Acto knife, glue, and an eye for evolving repetition. Stark has gained the attention of several publications including Wired, Wallpaper*, ReadyMade, and Preen, and was a 2008 recipient of the prestigious South Florida Cultural Consortium's Visual and Media Artists Fellowship.

Stark's work is included in the exhibition Portals, on view from May 15th through July 5th at Johansson Projects. Read our listing for more information.
