Feathers
Summary
Feathers (2011) is a Kai & Sunny single-colour screen print, hand-pulled on 100% cotton Somerset Satin White 300gsm at 40 x 50 cm, signed and numbered in an edition of 40. A compact ornithological study, it renders feather forms through the duo's characteristic flowing line-work.
Why It Matters
Feathers connects directly to Kai & Sunny's bird-and-flight preoccupation, translating plumage into pure contour line at an accessible small scale. The single-colour treatment keeps the focus on drawing, and the edition of 40 gives it modest scarcity within their 2011 output.
Collector Perspective
At 40 numbered impressions and 40 x 50 cm, this is an approachable, easily framed Kai & Sunny work. Confirm the pencil signature and number and check the white Somerset stock for handling marks. It pairs naturally with the duo's other avian pieces like Migration East for collectors focused on their bird themes.
Historical Context
Feathers belongs to Kai & Sunny's 2011 ornithological output, part of the flight-and-plumage vocabulary the duo developed alongside their migration works. The single-colour, small-format approach positions it as an accessible expression of that theme.

About the Artist
Kai & Sunny are a London-based artistic duo, Kai Clements and Sunny Todd, who met at art college and have collaborated since the late 1990s. They are known for intricate, hand-drawn line work exploring nature, patterns, and the forces of the natural world, often rendered as flowing, wind-swept compositions. Beyond fine-art prints and installations, they have built a notable design career, including celebrated collaborations with author Ben Okri and cover artwork for Penguin's editions of J.G. Ballard. Their editions are published in tightly controlled runs and have been exhibited internationally.
Collecting Kai & Sunny at Gauntlet Gallery
What Kai & Sunny works should I collect?
Their signed, numbered silkscreen editions, often featuring metallic inks, blind embossing, and hand-finished detail, are the heart of the market. Foil and layered prints in small runs are especially collectible. Gauntlet Gallery selects pieces in pristine condition with crisp embossing and complete signing.
How is authenticity handled?
Kai & Sunny editions are offered with documented studio provenance and the duo's signature and numbering. We photograph the specific piece you will receive, including signature, edition number, and any embossing, so every detail is verifiable before you buy.
What drives value?
Small edition sizes, special finishes (foil, embossing, hand-work), condition, and provenance from a documented release drive value. Sold-out, low-numbered, and specially finished editions command the strongest premiums.
