Falling Frequency
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Falling Frequency is a 2026 letterpress print hand-finished with acrylic dots, produced on 250gsm Somerset Satin White cotton at 42 x 29.7 cm. With just 12 impressions—each signed, numbered, and emboss stamped—it pairs the tactile impression of letterpress with individually applied paint, making every sheet subtly distinct.

Why It Matters
Letterpress is an unusual choice in a fine-art print program dominated by screen printing; it presses the image into the paper for a debossed, sculptural surface. Layering hand-finished acrylic dots on top introduces controlled variation across the run of 12, so no two impressions are identical.
Collector Perspective
An edition of 12 makes Falling Frequency very scarce, and the hand-finishing means condition of the raised acrylic dots is part of the appraisal. The letterpress deboss should be crisp; the satin-finish paper is more delicate than heavier screen-print stocks. Signature, numbering, and emboss anchor authentication.
Historical Context
Falling Frequency belongs to Kai & Sunny's 2026 Frequency series, sitting between Passing Frequency and Fractured Frequency. The trio revisits the wave-and-rhythm language the duo has developed since their book-based projects, here rendered through the older craft technology of letterpress rather than the silkscreen bed.
