 |
| Love-potion is a durational performance artwork in three phases. It uses borage herbs, seeds, magic spells, recipes and aural-visual trance-narratives to make a potion that reputedly drives away sorrow and melancholy, uplifts the spirits, and when shared with others nurtures compassion and peace. |
| The first phase of the performance takes place over six months and involves seeding, tending, harvesting and drying borage herbs. |
| The second phase involves preparing a magic potion from borage. |
| The third phase is where performers come together to share the potion. Guests can take borage flowers and leaves with them to create their own potion to share with others. As more people take part, there is potential for an invisible network to coemerge. |
