Beast Breast

I am interested in the points of failure or slippage in language. I used video and malleable panels rather than the neon of Nauman or Kosuth. This work is about the assumptions of gender we have in language even though they are not assigned in English.  Beast is commonly associated with strong and manly or rough and animal like, while breast is of the body, soft and female. When women can be beasts and men have breasts.  In this case, the r changes everything.
