Why It Matters
The title evokes atmosphere, weather, and a sense of impending change, themes central to Kai & Sunny's nature-driven practice. As a signed, numbered two-colour silkscreen in a run of 25, it combines the duo's hand-pulled craftsmanship with an accessible, warm-toned composition.
Collector Perspective
Signed and numbered documentation plus an edition of 25 keep supply limited while confirming provenance. At 75 by 55 cm on archival Somerset stock, it is a mid-scale screen print that offers a more attainable route into the duo's work than their large giclees.
Historical Context
Dated 2009, The Sky Is Falling (Orange) reflects Kai & Sunny's engagement with sky and atmosphere as sources of abstraction. The two-colour silkscreen format and warm palette show their measured approach to colour and their roots in hands-on print production.
