Two Embryos by Madeline Owen

72x48

Oil on Panel

2026

 This is the most experimental piece in the show, and contains most of the reoccurring motifs, the curled figures, animals at odds, or a rabbit… but you do not see these things all at one time. The rabbit is almost hidden in the hip of the right character and must be pointed out for viewers to realize it is there at all. Somewhere in the right figure, we can vaguely see the yowling of a cats mouth, although some do not see it even when it is pointed out. Ultimately this is a piece similar to the courtyard in a sense, in that that it is about the mystery between two solid things- like space between buildings or the space between the solid seated figures, animals circle and overlap, come forward, and dissolve.
