Port to Port art installation - Landguard Fort

Port to Port is an ambitious, travelling installation project by artist Sophie Giller, produced by The Art Station. Over the last year, the artwork has travelled between two Suffolk coastal towns, Lowestoft and Ipswich, and will finish it’s journey in Felixstowe during Heritage Open Days, growing and transforming at each stage. The beautiful centrepiece of the project will be a large-scale installation composed of sail-shaped patchworks.

Each sail will be created through community workshops, where participants are invited to contribute personal memories, images, and favourite objects. These elements will be printed, collaged, drawn, and stitched onto textiles to form richly layered and deeply personal patchwork pieces.
Rooted in the heritage of Suffolk’s port towns, Port to Port celebrates both the region’s maritime past and the collective experiences of the people who live there. Drawing on traditional crafts and storytelling, the project creates a moving visual archive of place, memory, and identity.
