Inner Horizons
By Cat Scott
What would it sound and feel like to be inside of a bubble?
Step inside a deceptive, inner landscape of a scale that we, as humans, cannot usually physically experience ourselves. From our first experiences submerged in the womb, to the depths of the abyss and outer space – is the universe one big bubble?

Selby Abbey dates back to the founding of a monastery in 1069 by French monk Benedict of Auxerre, apparently prompted by St Germain in a vision. Most of the monastery was destroyed in the 16th century in Henry VIII’s Dissolution but the Abbey church survived. The abbey was restored in the 1870s and the 1890s following damage sustained due to subsidence in the 17th century. In 1906 a fire gutted the interior. Various alterations were made during the 20th century and a further major restoration was carried out in 2002.
