Our Project's Mission

Just as the title implies, we're turning old, chrome bread boxes into women's breast plates. We are three. The medium is metal. Our work is strong.

Task one: build the machine.
The English Wheel is a machine designed to bend metal compressing one sheet of metal and raising it. This we will cut, grind, and weld together.

We plan to use the bread boxes as the base of the breast plates, and decorate these with steel wire and sheets.

Looking at historical examples and drawing from our own inspiration, these breast plates will show the woman's form and tell of women warriors of the past.

About Me

Two interns help an artist make an English wheel, and then use it to make female breast plates in a tribute to women's place in the battlefield and to look into what defense can represent.
