Vol. 2 features the work of artist and designer Kyong Kim. This issue showcases Assembly, an ongoing, generative body of sculptural ceramic vessels that Kim began in 2017. Derived from modular pipe forms, works from this slip-cast series are defined by their uniquely carved, colorful surfaces and their utilitarian ambiguity. Letterforms associated with this series were used as prompts to which a dozen writers responded. Contributions by Erik Benjamins, Marian Bull, Wade Cotton, Xiaoxi Chen, Matt Galler, Julie Moon, Kim Park, Nick Parker, Nat Pyper, JiEun Rim, Paul Ruppert, Julia Sanches, and Andrew Steinmetz are printed throughout the issue. Eunjoo Hong and Hyungjae Kim contributed illustrations.

The cover for this issue continues our investigation of the found, taking the form of a functioning scratchcard that invites the viewer to uncover its hidden secrets by scratching away the special ink. This is also a play on the featured project of one of our contributors to this issue, Peter Evans, whose paintings are inspired by found scratchcards that have been reclaimed from the pavements of London.
