Modula 2_Pink-Light Blue

9" x 9" — hand-pulled silkscreen on Lenox 100, 250gsm
Pink / Light Blue, specialty water based inks from MGC Community Print Studio
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.

This one steps outside the core Modula palette entirely. Both inks are specialty formulations from the MGC print shop, a vivid pink field holding a dense, saturated blue form — neither color drawn from the standard HSA line used across the rest of the series. The pairing has real voltage: pink doesn’t carry the quiet, architectural weight of the series’ usual backgrounds, so the repetition reads brighter and more immediate, each arch landing with the same confident saturation as the field around it.

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.
