Taking cues from a need to learn more, learn faster and learn better a face is sectioned into application segments to help focus on the actions to put on, rub in, work with, spread and smear. The culmination resulting in a hypnotic hum of voices and gestures whose charm is found in their common goal and dismay in the ceaseless pursuit of an ever-changing goal.

A custom boggle dice game consisting of words founds in seminal texts on femininity from Freud, Butler and Joan Riviere to name a few, as well as popular women's magazines such as Red Book and Elle. The texts were run through an analyzer to find common words and phrases. The dice function as a creator of stories, letting the words that construct the concept of femininity be the guide.

This impromptu fabrication with limited words encourages play and participation.
