An artist eyes Baltimore harbor's woes

I'm no art critic, but I couldn't resist when artist Eileen Wold contacted me to say she was opening a multimedia show this week that focuses in large part on how degraded Baltimore's harbor is.

I'd just published a special report about the trash, sewage and contaminants fouling the harbor and on efforts to do something about it. So an artist's take on the issue intrigued me.

You can read my story about Eileen and her work, and see some of it online here. But for a better look, I recommend viewing it in person. Her exhibition will run through April 15 at the University of Maryland Baltimore campus center, 621 W. Lombard St. in downtown Baltimore. There'll be an opening reception today (Friday, Feb. 4), from 4:30 to 7:30 pm.
