Passing Frequency (First Edition)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Passing Frequency is a 2026 hand-pulled two-colour silkscreen in black and silver, printed on 310gsm Somerset radiant white cotton at a compact 42 x 29.7 cm. Held to just 30 signed and numbered impressions, with an emboss stamp, it distills Kai & Sunny's line-driven abstraction into a metallic, high-contrast field.

Why It Matters
The metallic silver ink is the operative choice here: it shifts under raking light, turning a flat print into something that reads differently as the viewer moves. At an edition of 30, this is one of the smaller runs in the studio's recent screen-printed output, placing it firmly in scarce territory for a hand-pulled work.
Collector Perspective
Collectors should note the A4-scale format and metallic ink, which reward close viewing and specific framing. Silver inks are notoriously difficult to reproduce and can show handling marks, so condition of the metallic surface matters. Full authentication—signature, numbering, and blind emboss—supports the piece as a studio-issued edition rather than an open print.
Historical Context
Passing Frequency sits within a titled "Frequency" grouping Kai & Sunny explored in 2026, alongside Falling and Fractured Frequency. The frequency motif extends the London duo's long fascination with wave forms, pattern, and natural rhythm—themes that trace back to their environmentally-minded book projects and print series of the prior decade.
