Kate Gibb originally studied textiles at Middlesex University in London, but after her graduation she decided to focus on the development of the silkscreen process on paper, rather than fabric.
Silkscreen printing is often used to create poster works or prints to put on t-shirts. It's a printing technique that uses woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink as a sharp-edged image into a substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas. Very nice results come from this process, fragile and dreamy. Kate has worked with people such as The Chemical Brothers, The Magic Numbers, Penguin Books and Sonny J, just to name a few. Check her out!
