Modula 3_Green-Blue

9" x 9" — hand-pulled silkscreen on Lenox 100, 250gsm
Terraform Green / Neptune Blue, HSA water-based inks
One of one, 1/1
Part of Modula, an ongoing series of geometric forms built for modular variation

Four quadrants, four different logics. A full circle sits alone in the upper left, the only shape in the composition with no edge touching the frame. Beside it, a quarter-circle carves into the corner. Below, two more curves split the lower half: one swelling outward into a dome, one cutting a sharp diagonal arc. Same square, same grid, four unrelated gestures.

That’s the tension that drives the piece. A strict quadrant structure usually promises repetition, here it delivers variation instead. Each shape obeys the grid’s logic (stay inside your quarter, touch the frame or don’t) while refusing to repeat the shape beside it. The circle is complete and self-contained; the others are all partial, all cut off by an edge they can’t escape. It’s order with just enough disobedience to stay interesting.

Terraform Green sets a field that reads almost botanical, alive, slightly uneven, never flat in the way a printed green usually is. Neptune Blue sits inside it with total confidence, dense and saturated, each shape landing like a held breath against the green’s quieter texture. The pairing has more contrast in temperature than in value, warm life against cool structure, which is part of why the geometry reads as playful rather than purely architectural.

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.
