Phung HuynhBite the Hand That Feeds You

Drawings, paintings and installations by Phung Huynh built around the pink donut box, an emblem of Cambodian refugee labor in California.

Huynh’s third solo show with the gallery includes graphite drawings made directly on pink donut boxes, among them her parents’ wedding and her family at a refugee camp, alongside paintings and installations such as a piece built with a time-punch machine and card rack.
