A male torso form constructed with wet moulded tan leather covered with a polyester stretch knit singlet. The next layer consists of a white cotton business shirt, with strands of human hair attached at the cuffs, and centre front edge. A vest is attached over the shirt, made from a wet moulded tan leather insert, covered with cream and brown synthetic fur. The fur pile is parted and sculpted into a series of swirls simulating rows of animal teats. The shirt collar is finished with a short polyester jacquard tie, with a digital transfer print in red, black and green. The torso is fitted with an internal framework from which to suspend the work for display.
