“Morgan’s images display our own felt electricity,
the crackling auras and fields that we know for sure are there,
not just from new scientific sensors, but from the way our bodies so often feel.
We are not only stardust, but wild patterned energy,
dust devils swirling through space for just a time. “
- Kim Stanley Robinson, award winning science fiction author.
