GET TO KNOW SILKEN:
When you’re not modelling, what else are you up to?
I’ve been an artist my whole life, but recently I’ve started focusing more on painting. I used to shy away from it, because it’s so much more challenging than illustration, but I’m trying to push myself more artistically and try new things. I really love portraits in particular!
What is your favourite film or book?
I was raised on fantasy and scifi books! It’s hard to choose a favourite, but I have a nostalgic attachment to Tunnel in the Sky by Robert A. Heinlein.
What is one thing you have always wanted to learn or know how to do?
I’ve always wanted to learn how to give a tattoo. Even though I don’t have any myself, I like the art of traditional tattoos and have just always been interested in that world.
Is there anything you wished would come back in (or leave and never return) in fashion?
This is probably controversial, but I think early 2000’s popcorn shirts should make a comeback.
