Artist Kwang Young Chun (Kwang Young Chun) folds miniature boxes, and then combines them into huge wall or floor installations. Each composition consists of thousands of individual packages of mulberry paper, colored with tea, pigment and letters that were originally printed on old paper material used for installations. The works, which Chun calls "aggregations", demonstrate color and relief gradations on textural surfaces.
Chun was inspired to create such complex designs by his own children's handwriting. He grew up a sickly child, and medicines at that time in Korea was packed in triangular boxes made of mulberry paper. The artist grew up in South Korea, lived in the 1960s in the USA and studied there at the Philadelphia College of Art. After graduation, he returned to his native country.
