BOG OFF AND GET KNOTTED
IT’S COLD, IT’S HEAVY
IT’S RUSTING, THE RAIN
OIL PRINTS ON MY CHEST

| Phil Barraclough and his poem Bog Off. |
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.
