Francesca Lowe

Known for her extravagant and colorful images of trees, Francesca Lowe is interested in depicting the ways that people change over time. For Lowe, the tree is a recurring motif that symbolizes a human's mental and physical growth—a metaphorical blooming. The trees of Lowe's works dramatically confront their viewer with vibrant imagery interwoven within the trees' branches. Lowe often refers to her work, sometimes done in the form of a modified book (where the pages of a book are cut into the shape of a tree), as "tree cuts."
