Modula 2_Blue-Yellow

9" x 9" — hand-pulled silkscreen on Lenox 100 White, 250gsm
Neptune Blue / 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

Where Modula 1 builds from a single gesture, this one builds from repetition. Four lobed forms rise and fall across the square, two tall, rounded columns anchoring the outer edges, two shorter arcs meeting at a sharp central point. The whole composition reads like a sequence: tension, release, tension, release, each shape answering the one beside it.

The symmetry is almost architectural, a row of arches, or a reflection folding in on itself, but nothing here is static. The curves swell and taper unevenly, so even with the mirrored structure, the eye keeps moving: up through the tall columns, down into the valleys, back up to the sharp peak at center. It’s rhythm built from geometry alone.

Neptune Blue grounds the piece, deep, cool, architectural. Galactic Gold Yellow takes the form and lifts it forward, each shape appearing to hover against the blue rather than sit flush on it. The contrast gives the repetition its energy: without it, the piece would read as pattern; with it, each arch asserts itself individually before settling back into the sequence.

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.
