Modula 4_Green-Yellow

9" x 9" — hand-pulled silkscreen on Lenox 100, 250gsm
Terraform Green / 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

Six concentric hexagons, nested one inside the next, pull the eye toward a single point at center. No circle, no soft curve anywhere in the piece, every edge is straight, every turn is sharp, and yet the cumulative effect is anything but rigid. Repetition does what curvature usually does: it creates motion out of a shape that, taken alone, is completely static.

This is the most purely optical of the Modula forms. The hexagon is one of geometry’s most stable shapes, six equal sides, perfect symmetry, but stack enough of them inside one another and stability tips into vibration. The lines seem to pulse, recede, and advance depending on how long you look, an effect built entirely from spacing and repetition, with no actual movement anywhere on the page.

Terraform Green sets a field with its own quiet texture, alive and slightly uneven rather than flat. Galactic Gold Yellow traces each hexagon with even, confident coverage, the warmest pairing this form has taken on, and the one where the optical pulse feels least aggressive. The rings still pull the eye toward center, but gently, more like watching ripples than staring down a target.

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.
