DODI WEXLER: FAITH TRIP “Faith makes magic,” Wexler writes in her artist’s statement, referring to her improvisational process. She’s a collage artist, and her list of materials includes pressed flowers, gold, beads, photographs, wool, and paper. Her intricate works evoke gardens and life cycles. Some blossom with riotous colors; others, with quieter palettes, conjure decay. “I hold onto a world that is gone. I try to preserve time,” she writes. “Then I let it go.” Through Jan. 14.
