Byron Kim & Carl Phillips extend a conversation that began in 2017 when the Pulitzer Arts Foundation brought the pair together to discuss Phillips’s poems and Kim’s paintings. Kim’s recent series of bruise paintings, on view as part of the exhibition "This Skin of Ours" at the Miller ICA, were inspired by Phillips’s poem “Alba: Innocence.”
