Being
in the street
Looking
over my shoulder
Paranoia
The
night
Dark
Shaking
Scared
to fall asleep
Got
to stay awake
Thieves
People
trying to hurt
Vulnerable
Suicide
Anxiety
Asking
for money
Don't
know who
Hunger
Weight
loss
Alone.

| Armour artwork, embroidered with poems. |
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.
