Two works: (i) Insignia for the South Florida Wildlife Rescue Unit, (ii) Monument for the Birds of Puffin Island, 2006
A diptych of works on paper by Mark Dion that reflects his ongoing engagement with ecology, conservation, and the cultural framing of the natural world. The first piece presents a watercolor and pen rendering of an insignia designed for a fictional wildlife rescue unit in South Florida, combining the visual language of institutional authority with Dion's characteristic wit and advocacy for endangered ecosystems. The second offers a commemorative monument conceived for the birds of Puffin Island, honoring avian life through the solemn conventions of memorial art.
