PRAISE AND REVIEWS
Collector Daily
Loring Knoblauch
In channeling [Jack] Kerouac, Mori is trying to find a path to a fresh kind of authenticity through looser, more spontaneous artistic thinking. His collages embody our cacophonous contemporary rhythms, with the kind of energy and freewheeling vitality Kerouac himself might have appreciated.
