About This Item
Published by Bliss Studio Publications & distributed by the American Mathematical Society, 2006. 53-page square octavo with images and text describing the commission for the Cowles Mathematics Building Expansion at the University of Utah.
Anna Campbell Bliss's career has spanned decades, earning accolades and critical acclaim. Her work addresses both art and architecture, through an abstract tradition of painting and printing, expanding into three-dimensional concepts, computer generated screens and laser etching.
"Being both artist and architect, the need for communication has been a major concern in my research and in the art I have created. My work over the past sixty years has drawn upon a wide range of interests and visual explorations seeking to make connections: between nature and the constructed environment; the intuitive and predetermined process; poetry and math; and between the computer and the great tradition of artistic experimentation."
