Two-Faced – Kathleen Gallo Print

Handmade screen prints by Artist-in-Residence Kathleen Gallo

Screen printing is a printing technique where a mesh screen is used to

transfer ink onto paper, except in areas that a stencil covers. Artists can

create multiple stencils to complete a design that is reproduced in series. An

ink-covered-squeegee is dragged across the screen to fill the open mesh with

ink, thus imprinting the ink around the stencil, through the mesh, and onto the

paper underneath. One color is printed at a time; so, several screens can be

used to produce a multi-colored image or design.

This anatomical print was created to study the musculature and its location

on the skull. The skull took three stencils to print and the muscles took two

stencils to print. Practice makes perfect!
