- Biographical Information
- This work, *A Mystery Desired and Sought, I-X,* was designed for the Hearing Room of the Public Utilities Commission, Salem, Oregon. It was designed for this space, to work with the space, by placing the ten panels around the room. The design image relates to landscape and hopefully reflects the title. (Blair, 1992)
