Collapse (All-Purpose)

This piece is part of a series in which I completely unstitching my three-piece wedding suit and used the resulting pieces as templates in order to create meticulous replicas. For All-Purpose, the suit is made from Carhartt's signature rust-brown 12-ounce, 100% ring-spun cotton duck. I also composed several photographs in which I am wearing the suit and conducting various activities centered around collapsing traditional American male and traditional American female roles. *Special thanks to photographer, Seth Johns and machinist, Jon Bowers.
