GRAPHITE 14
It is with outstretched, open palms that we bring you Pocket.
The fourteenth issue of GRAPHITE Interdisciplinary Journal of the Arts considers everything to be true. In creating a swampy, discursive charm of a thing, we have been gifted with insight into the cracks and crevices of a multitude of people’s mind palaces. We have fused these dredges together to make the biggest keychain, the longest kiss.
We hope that you carry it with you, close to the heart, as you continue to accumulate your phenomenological smattering.
This is an object that you can be fragile or flagrant with, depending on your moment. And so we are dreamily imagining that Pocket will live and grow with you. Becoming fuzzy or shredded or moldy or lighthearted or sticky.
Affectionately, Shari, Sey, and Violet
jenny rask out of hiding
8” x 10” photograph
You lay on your side, coquettish
In a bed of pine needles and tangled roots
Waiting to be recognized, a stick that also shoots
A rifle born to lesser means
A twig unlike the rest
You sleeper agent waking to a kid-soldier’s behest
But I have never seen you
At least, not as a gun
I figured you a fragile thing, a weeping willow’s son
Your butted end, an open wound
A navel wet with sap
The markings of a fallen angel, cast off as a scrap
I question your stoic detachment
Your apparently hawkish fate
For there’s something melancholic about where you lay in wait
Beneath the site of severing
In the shadow of your loss
The choices: become weaponized or carpeted in moss
I’d rather hold you open-palmed
And find with your form
A million different symbols that ceaselessly transform

amber xu 20 YEAR OLD MONK
The twenty-year-old monk is terrified of spiders and looks better with hair. He exercises the principle of self-compassion when he swats away the webbed habitat of one of the sweet earth’s living creatures. And if the cow’s already dead, what difference does it make if it’s the monk’s tea-stained teeth sinking into that supple flesh or the unenlightened rube’s maw? Cleanliness is next to holiness, but he’ll organize that shit tomorrow, and sometimes it’s just too damn cold up in the mountains to shower every night.
The twenty-year-old monk’s carefully arranged balance shifts as he considers the pleasures of the flesh. He has sworn to chastity but his mind tends to wander, especially after lunch. Sometimes the chimera arrives so vivid and luscious that it gives him a start, and he looks around, wondering if anyone can hear his thoughts. Think-ing. Think-ing. Think-ing. He returns to the breath. It lies in the diaphragm, silent as a secret, hard to the touch and smoothed by years of turning the object around with the steady Ris-ing / Fall-ing . . . Ris-ing / Fall-ing. He smiles to his body. Oh body. Body that is flower, cherrywood, baboon, body that is mountain. Body of light. Thankful there are no mirrors. Easy body of no mirrors.
He regrets the patience he withheld. He tamps down jealousy in the soft pit of his belly. After dinner his stomach still grumbles. Sometimes he doesn’t wash his hands after he goes but run the faucet in case somebody’s by the door. He walks beyond the monastery grounds more often than not, and his mind sharpens at the sounds of the radios that fade in and out from the open windows of the apartments nearby. It’s his favorite pastime, but he really thinks the guy that sings along to the karaoke on TV ought to can it. He loves Tom Petty—the guy is suave. He misses the languor of sleeping in and watching TV in bed and lusting after women whose skirts sway with their hips and tossing back a drink to fire up the senses on a blustery evening. Sometimes he smokes a cigarette when he waits for the bus on his own. It’s easy to keep secrets when you’re a monk.
Sometimes he wonders if the hunger within him must be wrong. He’s never been able to decipher the Buddha’s teachings on ambition. It’s different here, in the West. His teacher nods solemnly when he speaks of this woe but offers nothing immediately useful—only apothegms as elusive as the darting fish that nibble the dead skin off your toes. After all these hours of sitting, he’s found clarity only in the gentleness of boredom. He would like to be kind, generous, considerate. Oftentimes he simply forgets this vow.
He thinks about what he’d do if he left. All the time, in fact. But he’s never plucked up the courage to address what could be. It’s better this way, he thinks. Easier, painless. He can’t lose. He takes a little more than he can eat from the donation pile on days that desire swells in his chest, unable to be contained. When his soul is revving to jump out of his skin shell. Mostly he wishes he had the courage to fail. To take a ghastly, tumbling fall on the iridescent mantle of his sequentially hermaphroditic oyster and gather his robes to continue on.
Last night my mother said to me, “You cannot be a twenty-year-old monk.”

benjamim furtado
Benjamim Furtado’s work develops around marks or trails in public space, from graffiti “tags” to fingerprints and footsteps. Furtado questions ideas surrounding privacy, limitations, porosity, and language. The concept of sampling is central to his artistic practice, producing images, sounds, and objects that are continuously reinterpreted.
bertil chappuis muñoz
I had a dream once that my friend was driving me in a Jeep with no top in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and he drove off the side of the mountain because he didn’t slow down early enough. My body was thrown out of the car, and I hit the ground and felt every bone in my body break, and my vision stopped working, but I didn’t wake up from the dream. I
left my body in the shape of a teardrop that was a translucent bluish white, and I hovered above the cliff and watched reporters, friends, and police look at my broken body on the ground sprawled out next to the car.
cameron taylor-brown
Cameron Taylor-Brown’s work is widely exhibited and has been featured in many publications, including American Craft, Fiber Art Now, and Handwoven. She teaches workshops at schools, guilds, museums, and conferences throughout the United States.
catherine desroches
Catherine Desroches is a Québécois artist based in Montreal. Their practice stems from the possibilities of a materialism specific to, and dependent on, the experience of the real and/or the virtual to form the paths for a living, poetic exploration of the aesthetics of re-enchantment. Living poetry brings forth coherences of wonder—confirming a certainty of being in the world, of belonging to it, and that this-worldly participation is a remedy. The ideology they wish to support through their work posits spirituality and ecocentrism as fundamental modes of symbolization.
charles hartnell
Charles Hartnell is from unceded Snuneymuxw Territory, Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, British Colombia, Canada.
daniel zeballos
Daniel Zeballos is an artist focused on drawing. He explores mediums such as silverpoint and graphite, defining his voice through a soft and subtle palette.

emiliana henriquez
Emiliana Henriquez’s hyphenated identity amid the chaos of East Los Angeles has heavily influenced her artistic expressions. Despite the complexities of growing up in a gang violence–riddled Latin neighborhood and her parents’ efforts to keep her and her brother safe, Henriquez found meaning in the creative arts. Her works reflect a fascination with the emotional connections that unite people across cultural spectra. Through elements of mythology and unpredictability, Emiliana
creates dreamlike landscapes that invite introspection and self-acceptance. She was recently awarded a grant by the Los Angeles Lakers.
erika velická
Erika Velická (b. 1992) is a graduate of Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (2019) who specializes in classic figural sculpture and is currently enrolled in a postgraduate program at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Brno University of Technology, Czech Republic. Working with robust materials such as concrete, wood, and clay, she captures inner states, conflicts, and observations, with all their subtleties, not only in her individual pieces but also through their interactions, relationships, and environments.
evelyn tan
Evelyn Tan is an artist based in Vancouver, Canada, and Providence, Rhode Island. She pursues a sense of nostalgia through metaphors, symbolism, and dreams, often working between traditional and digital mediums. While her work is immersed in memory and ornate antiquity, she creates new aesthetics through hybrid mediums, color, and texture.
frances gaffney
Everything we experience in the physical
world is a result, an artifact, and points to something that went on somewhere outside space and time. Heaven exists. Science has proven it.
francine banda
Francine Banda is an interdisciplinary artist from Los Angeles. They received a BA in art from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 2019.
gabby and yongyu
Gabby and Yongyu are pen pals and photographers. They met at a home goods store, Pod, and make works about the everyday. They are currently based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where they take German lessons at a café called Swissbäkers and study architecture and film at Harvard University.
héctor muñoz-guzmán
Héctor Muñoz-Guzmán (b. 1999) is a Mexican American mixed-media painter and illustrator from South Berkeley, California. His work draws on a wide variety of inspirations, including his dual Mexican and American cultures, familiar street imagery found in his childhood neighborhood, early 2000s cartoons, perceptions of race, and the relationship with Catholicism through the lens of colonization. Héctor produces colorful
scenes filled with animated figures that represent himself and his family in an effort to honor people who would not historically be represented in contemporary arts spaces.
india sachi
India Sachi is an artist based in upstate New York, working between the mediums of painting and photography. Questioning notions of camouflage, disappearance, and privacy, Sachi’s compositions largely reference the subject of the female nude in domestic space within the Western canon, finding themselves conjured on the forgotten items of others and referencing internet images left untethered to autonomy.
isabella rose
Isabella Rose is an artist currently living in Bellingham, Washington, who focuses on mixed-media sculpture. She works under the name Happy Freak and spends most of her time making art that explores the line between the unsettling and the endearing.
jake fagundo
Jake Fagundo (b. 1997, Chicago) makes paintings that are the remnants of a quiet practice. Fagundo finds stillness even in bursts of energetic color fields that
get pared down into open landscapes, figures, and nearly total abstractions. He is a recent graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2021), where he received the Presidential Merit Scholarship. He has exhibited his work in solo shows at Okay Gallery, Chicago (2019); Martha’s Contemporary, Austin, Texas (2021); and most recently Sulk Chicago (2021).

jamie steele griffiths
Jamie Steele Griffiths (b. 2000, Burlington, VT) works in painting, drawing, and video art. She is interested in the selfreplicative process that happens not only through birth but throughout life, thinking of contained, living bodies as cycles that break when they are too completely interrupted (like a whirlpool that has its rotation broken by an oar) and drawing to represent cycling bodies. Everything that’s alive is its own pocket, able to be taken from and have things put into it but complete as long as it remains a container, as long as its rotation is unbroken. Griffiths is also a hobbyist nature photographer and loves mushrooms, insects, and birds.
jenny rask
Jenny Rask is a Lebanese American multidisciplinary artist originally from Portland, Oregon. She emerged as a self-taught graphic designer after receiving a BA in journalism from the University of Oregon. After winning a design award at twenty-one, she moved to New York and worked for MTV as an accomplished motion graphics designer for many years. New York City life and street fashion informed her daily design work and strengthened her critical eye and perception of color and form. Trash piles on city sidewalks generated a deep fascination with the subtle beauty of found objects and their materiality. After moving to Los Angeles, where she has raised three kids, the charm of the mundane emerged again in her domestic life. Reexamining how art applies to her current life, she began to photodocument laundry masses and create object arrangements inside and gradually outside her home. She expanded her art practice from soft sculpture to installation work influenced by “low-cost design” in urban and natural landscapes. Her use of photography influences her scavenging process. She frames her discoveries in camera and then uses her images as a bridge to making sculpture. She takes
inventory of accumulations as they relate to the formal qualities of her sculpture. She compiles images of these discoveries as an attempt to recontextualize the rejected and the disposed. The materials transcend themselves; objects replete with a sense of loathing and obsolescence transform into things of beauty or desire or something in between. In 2020 Rask received her MFA in sculpture at California State University, Los Angeles.
jisoo you
Jisoo You (b. 1999, Seoul) currently lives and works in Chicago. She received her BFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2022. Her work has recently been presented at Ruschwoman, Chicago, and Villa Hamilton, Seoul.

kristina knipe
Born in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Kristina Knipe is an artist and educator who makes her home in Brooklyn and New Orleans. Working with photography, video, and installation, Knipe seeks to heighten narratives of loss, healing, and transformation.
laura benson
Laura Benson is a mixed-media artist interested in sacredness and ritualistic practices. Laura’s own practice is meant to be an exploration of the creation of a personal mythology that is linked to the undercurrent of subconscious connection to ancient symbology. This entails creating work across a variety of mediums, including clay, collaged images, found objects, metal, fabric, printmaking, and drawing. Her work also reflects a focus on storytelling, folklore, and religious myth. She finds art making to be a valuable
avenue for uncovering the mystical and mysterious aspects of the natural and supernatural worlds.
lev sibilla
Born in Oregon in 1999, Lev Sibilla (sometimes credited as Liev Sibilla) is a self-taught multimedia artist and professional scavenger. He collects materials on the margins and transmutes them into three-dimensional diary entries, ornaments, and tableaux. His work speaks, in part, of his experience in the new century on the autism spectrum, existing genderless and as a product of the Jewish diaspora. To date, he has shown work on both coasts of the US as well as in Japan.
lowe fehn

southwest Florida and her own fantasies, to speak about love given and received.
maggie cnossen
The artist Maggie Cnossen displays a playful vulgarity through paintings, sculptures, and other various mediums. Her style involves an unorthodox approach to using watercolors—gambling with “incorrect” types of paper that allow the colors to bleed through to the opposite side of the work, a process she calls reverse painting. Cnossen is focused on constructing a signature style that blends texts and images, cultivating a balancing act that emits both cleverness and personal mundanity.
mariel rolwing montes
Mariel Rolwing Montes is a painter from Brooklyn. She received her BFA in fine arts from Parsons School of Design / The New School in 2017. She has exhibited her work in New York, Mexico City, and Copenhagen. She is currently an MFA candidate at Hunter College, New York.

nick d’alessandro
Nick D’Alessandro is a Chicago-based artist working in both sculpture and garments whose practice investigates our connection to the earth through the aluminum rectangles in our pockets. Set to graduate from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2023 (BFA), Nick explores themes of technology and waste using print media, sculpture, and garments.
Exploring themes of fetish, fossil, and impurity, Nick engages sustainability conceptually and pragmatically through investigation of electronic waste, anthropogenic predictions, and constant consideration of the lifetimes of material. Sites such as the landfill, the thrift store, the alley, and the sidewalks become places for collection and transfiguration. Deconstruction, mending, and tinkering allow Nick to honor the vital materiality
of the objects he uses, which have a life before and after us. His work aims to create an intimate space in our digital future by considering the body as both the producer and the consumer. Working with materials such as concrete, glass, iron, copper, and aluminum, he acknowledges the lifetimes of these materials and how they will outlive him as the maker.
noah schneiderman
Noah’s paintings function as mirrors of his inner life and cultivate an understanding of the self and the world. Through this practice Noah seeks to gain and reveal a clarity in his lived experience. Informed by nature, memory, and the mystical, his works seek to brush against that which lies just beneath the surface of everyday life.
oda sofia
My name is Oda Sofia, and I am a Brooklyn-based artist. I have been making art for as long as I can remember. My pieces are mixed media, primarily made with watercolor, gouache, chalk pastel, and ink. I juxtapose the disgusting and gross aspects of life with bubbly cartoons that I grew up watching, like those featuring Betty Boop and Popeye. I often do not know the meaning of my pieces until I am finished. Looking back
at what my brain has decided to create, the themes largely revolve around my experience in the world as a woman. My pieces are cathartic vessels, containing my anger at the patriarchy and love of disturbingly detailed imagery along with kinky power dynamics. With each piece that flows from me, the paradoxical desire to find beauty within the rot of the world is revealed.
robert king
Robert King is a multidisciplinary artist focused on product design. Through the fabrication of interactive, emotionally potent objects (often multiples), made through digital and physical processes relating to commercial manufacturing, he questions the industrial design and marketing trends prevalent within his lifetime as well as the cultural identities, lifestyles, and feelings made in their aftermath.
robert russell
Robert Russell lives and works in Los Angeles. He completed his MFA at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) in 2006 and earned a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. Frequently displaying a subdued color palette, Russell’s representational paintings explore concepts of identity, memory, desire,
authenticity, the history of painting, and the role of photography in image making. Themes include (among others) art books, portraits of Robert Russell that are not of the artist, pigs, children, and most recently clouds, teacups, and porcelain figurines
ruby saigon
Ruby Saigon Murnik (b. 2001, Los Angeles) is a multidisciplinary artist and student currently based in Brooklyn. Saigon’s work centers on the abstraction of recognizable symbols and materials in the development of their visual lexicon.

ryan
lee

She was a professor of fine arts at Otis College of Art and Design from 2007 to 2018 and is currently a visiting artist at the University of California, Los Angeles.
sofia fani gutman
I yearn to broaden my horizons, to explore and contemplate social issues through design. I believe that participating in social and political movements is fundamental to having a positive impact on our world, an imperative factor in determining our future. In view of the social aspects of globalization, architects need to have a political and environmental understanding of the world. I am passionate and motivated about examining architecture and design with a critical eye and enjoy challenging myself to explore more areas of study. I have a zeal for utilizing organic materials with new technologies and traditional vernacular practices.
talia markowitz
