Contrary to many contemporary artists who focus on social or political issues, Brenda Stumpf steeps her work with mystical qualities which arouse intensely personal and archetypal associations. Her sculpture, assembled paintings, and drawings reveal dichotomous relationships between virility and delicateness, immovability and transformation, past and present, and fundamentally; corporeal and spiritual.

At its core, the recent painting Didymous (shown right) exemplifies Radical Dualism which posits two co-equal divine forces. Twins appear throughout mythology, born from the Great Mother or of the primordial womb. Being that Dualistic Cosmology is a collective term, twins inherently symbolize opposing or shared principles. Many variant myths and creation motifs show the world as being created by two demiurges or other mythological beings either in competition, or having complementary functions in arranging or influencing the world.
