This
body of armour that
is the weight and size
of my heart
is the shield and
protection
to my soul and eyes
when touched I breathe
sweet air

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.
