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).

The book is composed of five chapters, each dedicated to a different atua wahine central to Turei’s practice. Illustrated with photographs of paintings and practice, 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 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.

220×290mm reverse quarter-bound hardcover with fabric spine and cover. Cover is debossed and the spine is foiled and debossed. 320 pages. Photography by Stephen Wells.
