An artist’s advice for anxiety: work with your hands
from Meet Me Here · host KUOW Puget Sound Public Radio
“If you really stop to notice, there’s a lot of beauty hiding in the little details." Artist Tininha Silva walks along the ocean beach near her home in Port Townsend every day. Instead of looking at the horizon, she looks at her feet and finds those beautiful details. A shell, a piece of bull kelp, and other little treasures become inspiration for her art: large fabric and chicken wire pieces that evoke the beach at low tide, kelp forests, and as-yet-undiscovered sea creatures. Tininha tells Meet Me Here host Jeannie Yandel about the voice that told her to pursue her creativity and work with her hands. Tininha’s first installation piece, Between Tides, is hanging at the Seattle Art Fair at Lumen Field Events Center July 23 through 26.
