Hung 10 September 2026, same walnut as Harbour Knit, eleventh hook, portrait because this one is a person holding a machine, not a machine standing alone. Long light-blue hair, the gold star, the suit she wears when the lab has to look like an office. The omni-tool rides her shoulder the way a well-made tool does — segmented, cyan at the tip, close enough to purr. Fireplace behind. Window to the right. Not M1. Not M3. The companion. Accession MG.2026.011. The Works page holds the plate. This is the carrying.
