It Starts With Silence  is the first published book by Richard Ian Gosnold.

Addressing subject matter, which many consider taboo, it centres on the illegality of abortion and how that law affected him as a man, a husband and a father. 

It is a poignant story, in which the artist meditates on place: physical, political and psychological.

It Starts With Silence  was shortlisted for the Unseen Dummy Award in 2019.
