Soft Territories - Sue Gordon and Mel Sinclair

Soft Territories is a new exhibition by Mel Sinclair and Sue Gordon exploring the shifting boundaries between landscape, memory and belonging. Through contemporary photographic works, the exhibition considers place as both a physical environment and an emotional terrain, inviting viewers to reflect on the ways we connect with, shape and are shaped by the landscapes we inhabit.
Join us at the Ipswich Community Gallery from 29 October – 8 November 2026.
