Never Again

NEVER AGAIN
WILL I LET BULLIES
PULL ME DOWN
PULLED UP WALL
AND MY ARMOUR


Danny Collins



Danny Collin's poem, embroidered by Peggy Prestley



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/
