Book-Cuts and Tree-Cuts by Francesca Lowe is a bold art exhibition by the collage artist. Finding beauty in destruction, Lowe trades in her large-scale canvases for the pages of books.

Layering colors and images, the artist cuts away at book pages to reveal a slew of multi-dimensional facets. Visitors are able to see these captivating creations in person at The Rifflemaker Gallery in London.

The 3D collages focus in on key elements found in a book or magazine page. Erased and cut away, irrelevant imagery and information is removed to reveal what is important and desired.
