Clark and is currently based in Pittenweem, Fife; "it is named after adoxa moschatellina, a plant known locally as Town Clock for its four-way green flower heads, with a fifth flower facing the sky."^[2] Their main line is in "publishing minimal texts, visual poetry and the like in small neat booklets and postcards."^[3]

They have published work by Ian Hamilton Finlay among other artists; although most of their output is their own work^[4] which frequently consists of reflections on nature^[5]
