Elevate Española: Sundial Spectrum by Jen Stark Art Week Opening

Come celebrate the Art Week opening of Sundial Spectrum by Jen Stark with tunes by local DJ Carozilla and remarks by city officials.

Sundial Spectrum consists of 13 sculptural hanging panels showcasing Stark’s signature bold colors on vinyl laminated polycarbonate along with large-scale murals framing the walkway. Inspired by geometry and natural forms, the hypnotic patterns will shift throughout the day. As light filters through, viewers will find themselves surrounded by rainbow shadows along Española Way.

Stark was born in Miami, Florida in 1983, and studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art, graduating in 2005. Jen Stark’s art is driven by her interest in conceptualizing visual systems to simulate plant growth, evolution, infinity, fractals, mimetic topographies, and sacred geometries. Using available materials—paper, wood, metal, paint—Stark strives to make work that balances on a razor’s edge of optical seduction and perceptual engagement.
