Silent Selves Fine Art Prints
Silent Selves is a limited edition series exploring the quiet tension between surface and interior. Fallen leaves — weathered, marked, imperfect — are reframed as reflections on identity, resilience, and the subtle threshold where outward form meets what lies beneath.
Where our inner and outer selves meet
Identity examines the sacred space where our public Persona meets our private Essence, encouraging us to look beyond appearances to the deeper richness that emerges when we take the time to truly see another person.
Identity
Character
Character celebrates the many ways we inhabit the world—from the reserved to the candid—revealing how presence, openness, and restraint each carry their own quiet and dignified beauty.
Experience
Experience honours the deep transformations that shape a life: the ruptures that split us open, the unexpected paths that change our direction, and the soft weathering through which time slowly teaches us who we are.
Legacy
Legacy reflects on the histories we carry within us: the lineage that precedes us, the forms we inhabit, and the quiet weight of belonging that shapes how we move through the world.
The Silent Selves Story
The idea for Silent Selves did not begin in the landscape, but with a small group of dried autumn leaves resting on a cabinet. One day, as I passed them, I noticed how different the front and back surfaces were. One side carried colour and weathering; the other revealed veins, structure, and a quieter strength. Each leaf held its own character. The contrast felt familiar.
The human spirit is rarely a single layer. In this series, each artwork brings the two sides of a fallen leaf together as parts of a whole. Identity is not found in either surface alone, but in the quiet tension between what is visible and what lies beneath.
When the two sides meet, something shifts. Texture deepens. Form gains subtle complexity. The overlap allows similarities and differences to sit side by side. Neither dominates the other.
Set against a muted backdrop, each leaf is lifted from season and setting. Through repetition and variation, the series reflects on resilience, character, and continuity. Wholeness here is not perfection, but coexistence — surface and interior bound together.
I’ve written more about the ideas behind this series in Silent Selves: The Space Between.
