Te Papa Press Thinking About: Women Now

Te Papa Press's Women Now came out in 2018. It includes twelve dynamic essays by leading New Zealand thinkers to mark 125 years since New Zealand won the right to vote, framed around objects from the collection at Te Papa. 

The cover features a hand-printed woodcut, the block for which I found by chance in the College of Creative Arts' print room. I tracked down Stefan Messam, who had made her back in his student days and graciously let me bring her to life. The type and Te Papa logo were lasercut and printed by hand too.
