Wavy Migration 1
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Wavy Migration 1 is a 2024 eight-colour hand-pulled screen print on 410gsm Somerset radiant white cotton, at a large 85 x 120 cm with a hand-deckled bottom edge. Signed, stamped, and held to an edition of just 5, it is a technically ambitious, near-unique large-scale work.
Collector notes: First Edition; saved release record states an edition size of 5. The saved release record describes: signed. Verify each feature against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
Eight colour passes is an exceptionally complex screen-print build, requiring precise registration across a very large sheet. Combined with an edition of only 5 and a hand-deckled edge, Wavy Migration 1 represents Kai & Sunny operating at the upper limit of their large-format screen-printing craft.
Collector Perspective
An edition of 5 makes this rare, and the eight-colour construction plus large scale give it significant presence and technical bragging rights. The hand-deckled edge and front stamp are part of its finish and should be preserved. Confirm signature (bottom left) and the front stamp (bottom right). Flat storage of the oversized 410gsm sheet is essential.
Historical Context
Wavy Migration 1 fuses two of the studio's signature titles—Wavy and Migration—within the 2024 output. It pushes the duo's flowing, wave-derived linework onto a monumental scale, extending the ornithological migration theme that recurs across their nature-focused catalogue.
