3 nights awake, powder
fuelled
3 nights watchful:
looking seeing staring
3 what when why
3 days dead sleep,
dreamless pitch darkness
3 times unlucky, wives'
tears tell tales.

Armour is a project that uses words and stitches to explore the ways we protect ourselves. It is a collaboration with veterans of armed conflict and with people who have lived experience of homelessness. We asked people to describe their personal "armour", physical and mental. Artworks inspired by gambesons, the quilted jackets worn under suits of armour, were made out of rust dyed fabric and embroidered with poems, and other writings.
