Temperatures is an occasional publication about artists using clay. 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. This edition of 200 was printed in Korea at Top Process; 24 pages, saddle-stitched, 7 5/8 x 10 in.
