Description: I began to draw the nine tabloids that make up this book while wondering about the possible relationships between a text and a fossil; between punctuation and sediment; between the structure of a book and that of the ground. The quote by Anaximenes (taken from a quite loose translation) that forms the title gave me a clue: if the earth is as flat as a sheet of paper, each tabloid sheet could contain some vestige, rocks, mineral particles; and, when they are folded in half twice to form a booklet, they also conform possible strata. All these layers of paper, plus the superimposed marks, suggest a species of manuscript of the earth; a palimpsest landscape in which each image makes up a lexicon derived from paleontological and geological treatises and journals from varying eras.?.ʺ -- The author.
