Papermation: Jen Stark

This very lovely woman makes art from colored construction paper:

"Papermation" by Jen Stark from Jen Stark on Vimeo.

Radial Reverie:

Mold Study:

How to become a millionaire in 100 days:

The above piece is comprised of 1,000,000 scraps of hand-cut, colored paper.
Meaning she had to cut 10,000 pieces of paper every day for 100 days, hence the apropos title.
Sure-handed Perseverance is the artist's decisive apparatus.

Your Breast is Enough - Pablo Neruda

Your breast is enough for my heart,
and my wings for your freedom.
What was sleeping above your soul will rise
out of my mouth to heaven.

In you is the illusion of each day.
You arrive like the dew to the cupped flowers.
You undermine the horizon with your absence.
Eternally in flight like the wave.

I have said that you sang in the wind
like the pines and like the masts.
Like them you are tall and taciturn,
and you are sad, all at once, like a voyage.

You gather things to you like an old road.
You are peopled with echoes and nostalgic voices.
I awoke and at times birds fled and migrated
that had been sleeping in your soul.
