It's a Big World in There was a multi-media art installation, which turned a former church space into a participatory experience of art and music with larger-than-life flowing garments which could be manipulated by the audience using ropes reminiscent of sailing technology. The creators chose the image of a shirt because it's like a "shelter, it's a doorway you can enter into, it has a front opening, and it has arms that will enwrap you... it's very warm and benevolent." With music combining bells, organs, folk songs, a heartbeat, and psalms, and words projected upon the walls, the piece provided the audience a multi-faceted audio-visual immersion into a unique world. The installation was created by three artists: sculptor Kate Hamilton, video artist Tona Wilson, and composer Jonathan Elliott.
