Selkie Woman "Belonging" Print

An art print from an original Wild Minder textile artwork, inspired by the folklore, symbolism and quiet mystery of the Selkie.

Selkie stories have been told for centuries across the coastal regions of Britain and Ireland. Said to be seal-people who can shed their skins and take human form, Selkies are creatures caught between two worlds – belonging to both land and sea.

This artwork explores the Selkie as a symbol of freedom, transformation and belonging. There is something both beautiful and melancholic within the folklore – the pull of the sea, the longing for home, and the feeling of being drawn towards a world that is perhaps more deeply part of you than anywhere else.

Originally created using hand-painted textile and free-motion embroidery, the artwork brings together layers of colour, fabric and thread to create a tactile, dreamlike scene. This print captures the detail, texture and atmosphere of the original piece, allowing its story to be enjoyed in a new form.

Created for those drawn to the sea, folklore, fantasy, mythology and stories of transformation, this art print brings a little of the Selkie’s magic into your home.
