" Greg Mort is an imaginative force who communicates the wonders of planet
Earth and the universe beyond through stunning works of art that juxtapose
ordinary objects with extraordinary visions and interpretations of the
cosmos. In 'Voyages', the brilliant and thought-provoking art of Greg Mort
is displayed with commentary by the artist that allows the reader to go
beyond the mere fabric and structure of the creation in order to arrive at
the 'visual song' and 'symphony' that emotionally connect us with the
fundamental underpinnings of nature. 'Voyages' contains masterpieces of
human thought and imagination."
