Mark Dions work is just brilliant. To me it feels like a storybook come to life. To me it feels like it is someones imagination spilling. The way it is portrayed is very interesting. The dolphin laying dead on the sand makes you feel really sad and upset as it is such a powerful image, but pouring out of the dolphins cut from its belly are personalised human items. I think this shows what humans are capable of or the fact that this dolphin also had a life. The dolphin has a background cover of black, which could symbolise mourning. I think that this piece is aimed at the poachers and people who feel it is okay to take a life just because it is an animal.
This is my favourite piece! This piece by Mark Dion has the feel of nature yet it is being taken over by humanity and personal belongings, such as books, bags, frames and baskets etc...It looks as though the mess on the floor symbolises roots and therefore are feeding the tree to grow. I think it is very interesting how the branches are used and put together. I t also looks like a tree house, but with everything on the outside and no roof. The objects used represent the past , such as books, an old bag, a few tools etc. It also has a very personal touch with the personalised picture frames on the tree trunk.
The tree looks like soimething out of a fantasy film, like Narnia or Alice in Wonderland. I love the fantasy and the fun side to it and I want to create the magical atmosphere in my work too!
