Using the tedious process of quilling, New York-based paper artist Lisa Nilsson crafts amazingly complex anatomical sculptures with tightly rolled up pieces of paper.
These sculptures feature beautiful patterns and textures that come together to form life-like models of cross-sectioned human and animal body parts.
Carefully picking materials and colors that closely match the organic structures she is trying to re-create, the artist has turned a potentially gory subject into visually striking art.
