Libby Rosof writes about the visionary collages of artist Ann Irwin. Rosof notes: "Irwin’s work has diary elements expressed not through words but through images… [she] asked her paper and foil and twigs to function as a silent prayer, to anchor the dreamy images, to keep them real and material."

Transmutation and Metamorphosis: The Collages of Ann Irwin is on view at the Michener Museum, Doylestown, PA through October 16, 2011.
