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.

Flip the palette and the form changes temperature. Here Galactic Gold Yellow takes the field, open and warm, while Mars Red carries the shape, denser, closer, more insistent than it was as a background. The same composition that felt architectural in red-on-yellow now feels more immediate: red doesn’t recede the way yellow does, so the form reads as if it’s pressing forward rather than resting in place.

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.
