Duality has played a role in human culture and spirituality for thousands of years. Integral to the human experience is reconciling opposition. Good and evil, day and night, life and death; dualities are a core aspect of our existence. Since our earliest days humans have looked to these opposites to understand the world. Many of our spiritual beliefs dealing with duality emphasize the importance of both and the notion that it is through duality that we become whole.

We cannot fight against the existence of death unless we never live. We cannot have day without night and, within all of us lies good and evil. The ability to see opposing realities as part of a whole is central to many human belief systems and creates a foundation for the human experience.

'Two' explores this theme through a collection of whimsical objects created by multidisciplinary artist Charlotte Sigurdson. Through her use of symbolism, Sigurdson grapples with the concept of duality in our lives. Sigurdson uses techniques such as oil painting, soft sculpture and goldwork embroidery to create a cohesive collection of dolls and paintings. Through her use of soothing colour pallets, glittering goldwork and imaginative figures, Sigurdson invites us to sit through the discomfort of opposing realities. In Two, we can find the beauty in duality.
