Through a series of pencil drawings and twenty-two photographs by Jorge Yeregui taken at the Gran Corta de Fabero, the book proposes a reflection on nature as a creator of graphic signs. The reader will find a visual and textual essay that investigates the idea of the fossil as an anonymous paleodrawing, traced by the earth itself over millennia. It is a work that invites us to observe the coexistence of the mineral and the vegetal with care, and to discover in geological forms a graphic structure laden with meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work starts from the premise that fossils can be read as natural drawings, created without artistic intentionality by geology itself. The authors, José Joaquín Parra Bañón and Jorge Yeregui Tejedo, develop this graphic hypothesis through two languages: pencil drawing and photography. Yeregui's images, captured at the Fabero mine, show fossils that are interpreted by Parra Bañón as graphic constructions composed of lines, stains, textures, and fractures. The text analyzes these forms as graphic episodes where the inorganic and the organic, the remote and the future, are intertwined. The book is presented as an album that orbits around the oxymoron of the natural drawing, questioning nature's capacity to express itself through signs that it builds itself with the slowness of millennia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe interpretation of fossils as natural drawings and anonymous paleodrawings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between the mineral and the vegetal, and the connection between the inorganic and the organic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe analysis of geological forms as graphic structures: lines, stains, textures, fractures, and curves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePhotography as a tool for documenting and reinterpreting geological features.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe notion of \"antigraphy\" and the exploration of syntactic abstraction in drawing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at photographers, visual artists, geologists, art historians, and readers interested in the intersection between science and art.
