not the same thing as cool aloofness. Chun masterfully projects an objective detachment that is tempered with the emotional quality of the materials. The latter are inspired by the artist�s childhood memories and evoke herbal medicine bundles that hung in clusters from the ceilings of the family run pharmacy. The only problem with this show as a body of work is that the individuality of the pieces gets lost in their comprehensive serial quality.
