Catherine Ulisky has painted the connections between the European starlings in these photographs to show the entire flock as one faceted geometric shape. 

Ulisky on her work:

My work presents and explores aspects of our surroundings in ways that are new to me, yet faithful to what exists in nature. Carefully observing natural phenomena reminds me constantly of the limitless complexity and wonder of the world we inhabit. It is an exciting, reciprocal process that continually reinvigorates my own appreciation for what is around me.

Animal Inside Out is an exhibit currently running through Sept. 16 at the Natural History Museum in London.

About the exhibit:

Animal Inside Out goes more than skin deep, allowing visitors to strip away the flesh and travel on an anatomical safari of the natural world.

Adapted from Gunther von Hagens’ Body Worlds, our UK premiere of this exhibition features nearly 100 plastinated animals and capillary specimens displaying the intricate insides and inner workings of some of the world’s most spectacular creatures, from goats and giraffes to octopuses and ostriches.
