ARTPortals: Jen Stark, Anna Fidler, and Jana Flynn

  • Stark_event_full

This trio of artists transforms one-dimensional planes of paper into doorways that lead to strange universes. Armed with an X-Acto knife, Jen Stark carves stacks of multicolor cardstock into sculptures that resemble pinwheels, spiders, and sea anemones. Anna Fidler's collages plunge the viewer into psychedelic-hued landscapes full of shadowy spirit figures and night creatures. And Jana Flynn uses found paper, thread, and tea leaves to create ominous vistas where dark clouds hover over sweeping plains. Who knew that paper had such a secretly thrilling life? [Info Source]
