Statement
“The best of these linocuts shows a perfect combination between artist and medium. The direct, almost sculptural carving of the block is an ideal correlate (and Mock's art is nothing less than physical no matter the medium) to the artist's cutting edge insight, his almost addictive need to turn ideas into images.
