In my recent neon work I explore how ideas push language to evolve and to more accurately representations of an ever-changing world in which concepts of identity are center stage. In Portrait of a Male Platypus/Sex Chromosomes, for example, I created an accurate description that was once denied by scientists, because it did not fit into their paradigm. In Reversing the Order, I explore the use of pronouns and question the hierarchy of binary descriptors.
