♣ Jeff Ediger

My work is essentially informed by a double-reversal of the Hermetic principle of "correspondences" (Swedenborg) as summarized in the catch-phrase "as above, so below." So neglectful have we become of natural substance and physical existence--as expressed, for instance in the neglect of intimate, hands-on craftsmanship for abstract, hands-off post-industrial technology--that I believe it would be better if we placed primacy on listening and learning from the "as below." The first reversal I pursue, then, is this: "As below, so above." My second reversal is informed by a privileging of soul over spirit. Therefore, instead of height ("as above"), my primary interest is in depth ("within"). The kind of "correspondences" I pursue, then, can be summarized in this restatement: "As without, so within." More specifically, I am interested in homelessness and dwelling as they relate to the soul. What does it mean for the soul to come home to itself as well as to communion with other souls? i explore three realms of domesticity for the sake of discerning correspondences to the soul's homecoming--dwelling, nourishment, and hospitality.
