Printmaking offers a way to explore and experiment with imagery, especially as AI, AR, and VR continue to redefine visuality and originality. I am curious about how images take shape from the surroundings to the mind, move onto the canvas, and gradually evolve and transform through making. Working with my hands nurtures both body and mind, supporting a more reflective and thoughtful creative practice. In this space, I will document different printmaking projects and explorations, tracing their development and the insights they bring.

After the Rain: Cyanotype (The one reason I long for bright sunlight), Bangalore :) 🌸 (23/10/2024)
Photograph from a failed experiment. (No matter how much love you invest, the outcome can sometimes be a lesson in failure. The acrylic letter forms allowed very little light through, + with the decision to experiment with sun prints on a cloudy day!!!, which resulted in a less clear cyanotype print. Although the experiment didn't succeed as planned, the process was still cherished. :) (25/08/2024)
#LinocutPrinting
Motifs derived from pressed bougainvillea flowers and tulsi leaves—symbolizing the familiar flora of Bangalore and a cherished sensory memory from childhood in Kerala—were developed into a repeated pattern for screen printing on cotton fabric. The design was transferred using a 140 LPI mesh screen with a carefully formulated blend of pigments, binders, and solvents
