This Mortal Armour

THIS MORTAL ARMOUR THAT I WEAR
FIRST UNCOMFORTABLE RESERVED
SMILE QUILTED, THIS MORTAL
ARMOUR THAT I WEAR
MY TONGUE LICKS AND FEELS...
COLD AND SMOOTH


Gavin


Gavin's embroidered poem, for the project Armour

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. arthur-martha.com/portfolio/armour/
