The Albino Kiwi & Other Rarities features 75 carefully selected objects from her collection, each with its own powerful story, from the enigmatic albino kiwi specimen to cherished Māori artefacts, inventive examples of folk art, vintage collectibles, and natural history wonders such as a 10-million-year-old crab and Molly the stout-legged moa. Christine’s selection criteria focused on rarity, unique cultural significance, and a compelling narrative that connects these objects to New Zealand’s identity and social history.
This signed edition is strictly limited to 250 numbered copies. The publication’s exquisite craftsmanship involved New Zealand artisans who specialise in fine printing, hand sewing, leatherwork and gilding. The endpapers, designed by architect Graeme Burgess, add a unique artistic flourish, while the evocative photography by Haru Sameshima and Mark Adams of Studio La Gonda captures each piece’s beauty with rare precision.
