"SPARK 6: Refractions" features the work of UMBC (University of Maryland, Baltimore County) and Towson faculty, recent graduates, and current students in the historic galleries of The Peale in Baltimore City. The title of the exhibition references a term from physics that describes the change in direction of a wave as it passes from one transparent substance into another. It’s a phenomenon most commonly observed when a light wave bends or changes appearance when it passes through a lens or a prism. Each of the artists in this exhibition serves as an apparatus of refraction, focusing, magnifying, or redirecting our attention and perspective in engaging and surprising ways.
