A lot of what I learned for this video came from a conversation I had with Kwong Chi's sister, Muna Tseng, who is a brilliant artist in her own right. Check out her work here:
The audio of Kwong Chi's voice at the end is from an interview with Roland Hagenberg, from 1987, which was provided by Muna Tseng.
