‘Suited’, cardboard tailored men’s jacket.

By artist Simon Croft.

‘‘Suited’ is made from packaging from about four years of my personal usage of testosterone injections. For me, taking testosterone is a vital part of making my masculinity visible and experiential, like putting on a really well fitting suit.”
