THE STORY

I happen to drive past this lane in my Calcutta neighbourhood very frequently, my eyes always pausing to hold on to it, trying to take in all of its quiet mystery, feeling a recurrent urge to stop my car and get physically closer to it. But perhaps I wanted to savour this mystery itself, and so never stopped to walk down inside it. This woodcut is my attempt to forever capture its quaint charm and curious appeal, during the foggy Calcutta winter mornings.

THE PROCESS

This is a multi-block woodcut print, printed using 4 blocks of wood.

Materials used:

Letterpress ink
