Work Summary & Collector Notes
Tipping Point is a 2023 five-colour hand-pulled screen print on 410gsm Somerset radiant white cotton, at 65 x 86 cm with a hand-deckled bottom edge. Signed and stamped in an edition of 100, it is the base version of the composition later reworked as the six-colour Tipping Point - Flower.

Why It Matters
Tipping Point is the original state of a design the studio revisited in 2024, making it a foundational work for collectors following the composition's evolution. The five-colour build on heavy stock and large format deliver strong presence, with an edition of 100 keeping it comparatively accessible.
Collector Perspective
An edition of 100 puts this in scarce territory and makes it a more available counterpart to the 28-edition Flower variant. The hand-deckled edge and front stamp are finish elements to preserve. Confirm signature (bottom left) and stamp (bottom right). The listed 300-pound release price reflects issue value, not current market pricing.
Historical Context
Tipping Point sits within Kai & Sunny's 2023 catalogue and directly anticipates the 2024 Tipping Point - Flower. The title draws on ecological threshold language central to the duo's environmentally minded practice, extending themes they have pursued across books and prints for years.
