Lonnie Hutchinson is a multi-media artist who has exhibited extensively throughout Australasia and in exhibitions internationally. Her output, which is informed by her Ngāi Tahu and Samoan heritage, regularly pays homage to Pacific women and their traditional arts.

For this commissioned work, Hutchinson installed a binocular station inside Christchurch Cathedral – this provided the viewer with an alternative interpretation of the Cathedral or 'virtual reality', informed by images and sound from the natural environment.
