“Lo mejor de estos linóleos evidencia una combinación perfecta entre artista y medio. La talla directa, casi escultural del bloque es un correlativo ideal (y el arte de Mock no es nada menos que físico sin importar el medio) para la innovadora visión penetrante del artista, su casi adictiva necesidad de volver ideas en imágenes.”[1]
