Why It Matters
Dandy connects directly to Kai & Sunny's Daydreaming exhibition activity, where the large original was shown while this print circulated as the collectable edition. It represents the duo's flower-form vocabulary at an accessible edition size, making it a natural companion to Wild Flower from the same series.
Collector Perspective
With 100 numbered impressions this is a widely available Kai & Sunny work, well suited to a first purchase. Look for a clean pencil signature and number, intact white glitter, and no light-staining on the white Somerset stock. Its exhibition link to the Daydreaming shows adds provenance interest without commanding large-format pricing.
Historical Context
The note that the large original was showing at a Daydreaming exhibition situates Dandy within Kai & Sunny's signature collaborative curatorial project, through which the pair paired their own botanical works with pieces by invited artists in the early 2010s.
