Old
history bullshitting
Keeps
warm, keeps you safe balaclavas
Built
to fit jock straps
Slaves
and wenches football shin pads
Emblem big
cars big ego
Heavy
and restricting boxing gloves
Gladiators gangsters
Battle
stories bravado and lies

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.
