Melrose Hill: The Deep Cut

The Best Machines Are Made of Sunshine pairs sculptures by Molly Larkey and paintings by Caitlin Lonegan in a dialogue about transformation, perception, and material presence. Inspired by Donna Haraway’s concept of hybridity, the exhibition presents works that resist fixed interpretation, revealing themselves gradually through light, texture, and time. Together, the artists explore how shifting forms and surfaces invite sustained looking and multiple ways of seeing.
