Game On St. Paul’s

As a host city for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™, Ōtepoti Dunedin tasked Storybox with transforming a towering Octagon landmark into something special for the FIFA Fan Festival. 

To celebrate and empower women, the team worked with prominent female artists from around the region and wider motu to build four unique pinball game ‘skins’. These swapped out regularly, so every time people looked, St Paul’s looked wildly different. A rich soundtrack underpinned the experience adding energy and holding the diverse art styles together.

I was chosen as one of the 4 artists to display work on the cathedral. My concept was called ‘Go bananas!’ and it was a light hearted concept that paid tribute to the fans, the football and most importantly the womens football teams.
