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.
