Long abstract	THIS essay proposes a relation between contemporary painting and Manuel DeLanda’s Deleuzian inspired materialist ontology. However, my approach does not negotiate direct relations with contemporary painting, instead seeks to investigate structure-generating processes that are common to both non-human geological expressivity and human mediums of expressivity. Through a speculative use of the concept of mineralisation, the relation between the materiality of fossilisation and the immateriality of sensation will be configured through temporalities of emergence.

THIS essay proposes a relation between contemporary painting and Manuel DeLanda’s Deleuzian inspired materialist ontology. However, my approach does not negotiate direct relations with contemporary painting, instead seeks to investigate structure-generating processes that are common to both non-human geological expressivity and human mediums of expressivity. Through a speculative use of the concept of mineralisation, the relation between the materiality of fossilisation and the immateriality of sensation will be configured through temporalities of emergence.
