Modula 1_Red-Yellow
9" x 9" — hand-pulled silkscreen on Lenox 100 White, 250gsm
Mars Red / Galactic Gold Yellow, HSA water-based inks
One of one, 1/1
Part of Modula, an ongoing series of geometric forms built for modular variation
The form starts with a curve and never quite lets go of it. A rounded base swells into a solid, self-contained shape, then breaks, a thin line peels off and climbs, straightens into a hard right angle, and lands as a flat architectural block stacked beside it. One gesture, two behaviors: soft where it begins, rigid where it resolves.
That contrast is the whole composition. Nothing here is symmetrical, and nothing needs to be, the weight of the rounded form on the left balances the angularity of the block on the right, the way a single scale can hold two very different objects in equilibrium. It reads as structure, almost mechanical, but the curve keeps it from ever feeling cold.
Mars Red fills the field; Galactic Gold Yellow carries the form, a pairing with enough contrast to hold its own on a wall, disciplined enough to keep the shape legible at a glance. This is the first form in Modula, a visual language built to be chosen and combined on your own terms: pair it with another form in the series, or let it stand alone.
Hand-pulled, one layer at a time, on 250gsm Lenox 100, printed at the MGC Community Print Studio at PowerHouse Arts in Brooklyn. No two pulls of a silkscreen are ever pixel-identical, each one carries its own trace of the hand that pulled it.
