Together, Dirnfeld's, Wróbel's, and Croney Moses' practices examine how individuals move through psychological, emotional, and embodied change. Abigail Ogilvy Gallery brings these artists into conversation around internal states, learned behaviors, inherited memory, and the processes that shape identity over time.

Tallulah Dirnfeld’s paintings center on girlhood, control, and the formation of early identity. Careful compositions of uniformed figures and tightly ordered interiors with polished surfaces and precise gestures reflect learned behaviors such as emotional regulation, anticipation, and the performance of goodness. What may initially appear nostalgic or gentle reveals a deeper tension rooted in suppression, restraint, and psychological adaptation. Rather than dramatizing these themes, Dirnfeld presents them with clarity and stillness, highlighting safety, vulnerability, and the complex negotiations of selfhood.

Natalia Wróbel approaches transformation through layered abstraction that mirrors internal reorganization and emotional processing. Built through accumulations of color, repeated mark-making, and extended revision, her works draw from neuroscience, memory, and natural patterning. Wrobel’s paintings emphasize how thoughts and feelings shift gradually rather than all at once, underscoring transformation as a sustained process shaped by attention, rhythm, and instinct.

Alison Croney Moses expands the exhibition’s exploration of becoming through sculptural objects rooted in sensory experience and personal history. Her practice draws from her family’s traditions of making and from her own experiences of adolescence, motherhood, and community-building. Themes of family, relationship, pregnancy, childbirth, and repair guide her work, which addresses private, often isolating experiences by creating spaces for connection and collective reflection. Her sculptures function as vessels for memory and embodied knowledge, grounding transformation in material and generational continuity.

Together, Dirnfeld, Wróbel, and Croney Moses offer three distinct pathways into transition: psychological conditioning, cognitive shift, and embodied lineage. Rite of Passage brings their practices side by side to explore how individuals navigate experiences of becoming.
