Duality

I learned to recognise the thorough and primitive duality of man; I saw that, of the two natures that contended in the field of my consciousness, even if I could rightly be said to be either, it was only because I was radically both.’ Robert Louis Stevenson

Glenn Freyne’s work is concerned with “Dualism” and how this term has the possibility to transform anything and everything to hold two opposing truths. This concept underpins the Western culture and can be found throughout many aspects, such as in philosophy, cosmology, ethically and politically. Through these sectors dualism manifests itself as the notion of good and evil, masculine and feminine, black and white, rich and poor, mind and body, the left and the right and it is often, particularly enforced through the media, that one of these opposing sides can tend to dominate over an individual’s perspective.
