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."
