 The House of Pride & Other Tales of Hawaii: Chun Ah Chun
Ah Chun himself preferred the voluptuous glitter of Oriental display; but he was a philosopher, and he clearly saw that his children's tastes were correct according to Western standards.
And Ah Chun sat and smoked on, and in the curling smoke-wreaths he saw take shape the face and figure of Toy Shuey--Toy Shuey, the maid of all work in his uncle's house in the Cantonese village, whose work was never done and who received for a whole year's work one dollar.
But Ah Chun's word went forth, as a whisper, and Captain Higginson forgot his rear-admiralship and his high family and took to wife three hundred thousand dollars and a refined and cultured girl who was one thirty-second Polynesian, one-sixteenth Italian, one-sixteenth Portuguese, eleven thirty-seconds English and Yankee, and one-half Chinese.

 Wing Chun Kwoon
Wing Chun Kung Fu is a system that does not rely on strength and brute force; rather it stresses development of skill and co-ordination to have the practitioner deflect and redirect an opponent's attack, while simultaneously countering with his/her own attack.
Deflection and redirection is achieved with correct positioning, requiring good footwork as well as co-ordination of the arms and legs, so that they work together to redirect an oncoming attack yet leave the practitioner in a position to counter at the same time.
Although working with a "static" partner, the Wing Chun practitioner learns how to combine footwork patterns smoothly with arm movements that deflect and attack, developing skills that are mandatory for successful free sparring.

For this show, titled "Inward, Outward, Interrupted," Chun presents a group of recent crocheted-paper wall reliefs that are obviously labor-intensive, but nevertheless convey an airy and lively tone in this ambitious exploration of abstraction.
In Chun's Automatic (141), for example, she re-presents Mondrian's Composition Gray-Red (1935), not only as a sculptural object, but as a fragmented two-dimensional space, with three vertical panels connected by long, dangling rubber threads.
Chun's most elaborate work in the show, Untitled (systemic 164), is an installation piece that features a woven panel suspended from the ceiling several feet in front of a wall panel.
