Takoto ai te Marino: Selected Works 2018–2025 is the first monograph on the work of Aotearoa artist Raukura Turei (Ngā Rauru Kītahi, Taranaki, Ngāti Pāoa, Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki). Hard-cover; cloth-bound and embossed, this beautiful pukapuka is currently available in a special first edition run of only 500 copies.

The book is composed of five chapters, each dedicated to a different atua wahine central to Turei’s practice. Lavishly illustrated with photographs, including numerous full- and double-page images, it looks in depth at the first phase of her career, providing insight into her whakapapa, her conceptual and ethical frameworks, and her processes and subjects.

Essays, poems, anecdotes, and an interview are interspersed with stunning full colour images of artworks, exhibitions, friends, whānau, and the sites where Turei gathers her materials, as well as stills from the moving image works UKURANGI (2024) and ŪKAIPŌ (2024). Texts have been provided by Zoe Black, Hana Pera Aoake, Sarah Hudson, Kirsty Baker, Kahu Kutia, and Elisapeta Heta, and photographs by Greta van der Star, Vanessa Green, Samuel Hartnett, and others. The book was designed by Katie Kerr and edited by Erena Shingade.
