Jen Stark's work consists of a lot skilled color matching and serial planes, the subject of our next assignment. I first discovered her back in the fall and fell in love with her work immediately. (One of my favorite pieces is "Centrifugal" you can find her at jenstark.com)
When you consider serial planes you must first consider how everything starts with a point, followed by a line, and so on. Points make up a line, lines make up planes, and planes create volume, which then creates form. When you break down a form at regular intervals you get serial planes. Each plane is its own unit and can create volume through repitition or gradation (shape/size). The repition while changing size will create a sense of depth (like in the first & second image). Varying the shape and size in repition will give you more interesting forms like Jen Stark's work (the third image).
Another thing I love about Stark's work is the colors she uses. These images are better for describing her use of serial planes, if you take the time to browse her website you will see all of the color combinations she uses. Those who have study some color theory know basic principles of how colors effect each other and how we percieve them. I enjoy her pieces that combine colors to give the illusion of motion the most!
