Double-edged address

Does "double-edged address" in the following text imply:


1. the writer will review the work of artist Jemima Stehli from two different viewpoints


or


2. Jemima Stehli's work has two different aspects ?


I think #2 is intended. Am I right?


Context:

I will suggest that there is a particular form of feminine narcissism which centres on multiplicity and doubling rather than deathly repetition, proposing this form of masquerade as a challenge to Freudian ideas about female desire. I shall explore this potential and its pitfalls further in relation to the double-edged address of the work of artist Jemima Stehli.

I think so. There is a lot of jargon here, and I can find no definition of "address" that would allow it to be used that way. Humpty-Dumpty strikes again.

"Double-edged" means that it cuts both ways.
