Why It Matters
The square 74 x 74 cm format is a distinctive departure from the studio's typical rectangular sheets, lending the moon imagery a balanced, contemplative framing. Six colour passes on heavy radiant white stock give the work depth, and the celestial theme broadens the duo's usual terrestrial nature vocabulary.
Collector Perspective
An edition of 100 makes this scarce, and the square format offers framing flexibility distinct from the studio's large landscape prints. The hand-deckled edge and front stamp are part of the finish. Confirm signature (bottom left) and stamp (bottom right). The 350-pound release figure reflects issue price rather than current market value.
Historical Context
Moon Always Shining sits within Kai & Sunny's 2022 output and extends their nature themes skyward, toward lunar and celestial imagery. The reassuring title—the moon always present even when unseen—echoes the meditative, optimistic strain that runs through the duo's environmentally engaged work.
