Mark Dion, in his ART21 interview, discusses his interest in the "ecologies" of the places where he creates. Dion wants to understand the relationships between people and people, people and the environment, and between different forces within the environment.
Dion describes himself as an amateur archeologist and biologist, "shadowing their methodology."
In the ART21 short "Herbarium Perrine," Dion displays a collection of marine algae that has been pressed into paper. Dion says that he seaweed has a natural adhesiveness and once the specimen is stuck onto paper, it mimics a drawing.
