Colin Corbett's work focuses on the taboo attraction of the male member in ways that are both surprising and provocative in a new exhibition at London College of Communication (LCC), open to the public from Monday 19 January 2009.

His different variations of the jockstrap are humorous and inspired by different cultural themes from Ancient Greece to world religion.

Colin Corbett, artist, said: "What I find interesting about the jockstrap is the correlation between 'macho' and 'camp', I had a stock phrase for anyone who looked uncomfortable, 'oh, he's got his diamante jockstrap on inside out.' I'd never seen a diamante jockstrap. Finally I made one and it caused such mirth, I expanded to other designs using rhinestones (Jewel Support series) and masks (Masked Ball)."
