Works

Stark is known for her repetitive, intricate sculptures which often resemble patterns in nature. Stark's hypnotic work mimics plant growth, evolution, topographical maps, infinity, fractals and the geometry of the universe. Although Stark is most recognized for her paper sculptures, she has explored a variety of media including wood, paint, mirrors, metal, and animation. 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.
