Cut Paper by Jen Stark

Jen Stark is a mostly paper-craft artist -- and I don't mean that disparagingly -- who quickly came to prominence about five to six years ago, shortly after she got out of art school. She was an internet darling or sorts whose work was repeatedly featured at high traffic sites like boing boing and Neatorama.  And there's a good reason for that: her work is really simple, really beautiful, the kind of thing that seems obvious once you've seen it. I recommend her site, and not just for the paper work but for the drawings as well. I was reminded of her work through a post at Boom.

As a side note, her Wikipedia post contains one of those pretentious sentences (please, Jen, tell me you didn't write this) that has become cliche:

Stark’s ideas are based on replication and infinity, echoing patterns and intelligent designs found in nature. Since expanding her medium from paper to include wood and even mirrors, Jen Stark's oeuvre of optically and methodologically baffling sculptures and drawings has enjoyed a renaissance of context. Her signature creations combine a variety of materials that have acted as a catalyst for more established spiritual proclivity as expressed through hypnotic mandala-like configurations.

Holy heavens.
