Logo
January 2018
Launched in 2018 with the publication of Kate Ling's Balcony, we aim to see what DIY culture looks like in the hands of middle-aged women.
It's easier than you think to do things yourself and we want to send a message to creative people that it's possible to get your ideas or your work out into the world.”
I first worked with Agnes Kirk Press in designing their logo. A hand-drawn ‘AK’ pressed together, resembling a map of an impossible box or an oragami bird.
Later, I designed and edited Madeleine Wurzburger’s Only a Few are Looking at the Sky at the Right Moment for Agnes Kirk Press in 2020.
The cover image is an abstracted circular cut out of an artwork by Joanna Kirk. The publication includes a medieval wood cut print of a goat, and several poems to be read landscape.
Designing this publication preceeded POLVO Press Ltd. and was a major inspiration for its creation.
