Jen Stark is so clever with paper, building unbelievably complex large-scale wall pieces and sculptures. Starting in 2005, Jen began making animations using solely paper by building up layers of intricate cut-outs. Jen’s work brings to mind the abstract animations of Oskar Fischinger, who worked from the 20s-40s and is noted for creating special effects long before a computer.
