The dreams of a young girl the night before her coming out party inhabit these empty bedrooms at Belsay Hall. Longing for love and romance, her childhood world dissolves into social connections, potential husbands and family obligations.

"Together with her creative team, Geraldine Pilgrim has realised a poignant work that combines the imagined memories of Kitty’s disappearing childhood with her
fears and excitement for the future. Four thousand teacups and saucers, provided by Josiah Wedgwood & Sons Ltd flow through one of the smaller bedrooms, in another remnants of a forest weaves its way upward from floor to ceiling and in the smallest of all we see the ghostly image of Kitty combing her hair in preparation for the party, whilst a servant peers at her through a crack in the furniture."
