Verandah Press

For the places that changed before we could say goodbye.

Prints from family stories and remembered India.

First memory

It began with a red oxide floor.

A shaded Bangalore verandah. A cane chair. A folded newspaper. A shoe rack near the door. Morning light outside, brighter than the room inside.

These are not famous places. They are the places families carried through ordinary days, and the places they still remember when the city changes beyond recognition.

Memory to print

Every print begins with a story.

  1. A parent or grandparent describes a place: the light, floor, roof, gate, trees, sounds, and objects that belonged there.
  2. We render the scene with modern image tools, then keep revising around the remembered details.
  3. The final work becomes a print, paired with the story that shaped it.

The memory is the source. The print is the artifact.
