a woman's charm is a performance that includes an abstract incantation of the same title. Both involve a satirical (yet earnest) and occult perspective on what constitutes woman within our society, focusing on how these elements can harbour great power, even when derided. The resulting sculptural object is intended as an "elixir" or "charm," fit to fortify even the most femme of femmes.
