Bell Rock is an installation project that addresses the history of the old lumber baron's mansion currently housing the Art Gallery of Sudbury. This exhibition will present, in a museological fashion, the story of the house, from its construction in 1907, to its current use as a public art gallery. From the many interviews conducted during the artist’s three research trips to Sudbury, she has come to believe that the house itself is haunted. This will play a major role in the show, being part of the chronological information presented, as well as a video component of the work.
