anger gets ideas written with food in different pans and plates and a slice of brad beside

Touching Hearts: Cecil Mariani

Touching Hearts: Cecil Mariani

Date

By Nigel Sielegar

For Stefan Sagmeister's final "Touch Someone's Heart" class first year MFA Design students created a variety of projects on the theme of "What I Learned in My Life, So Far." Over the next few days we will survey some of them.
Cecil Mariani chose "anger gets idea going" which was based on her experience
"struggling against the odd and limitations from where I came from to finally be here in the program."
"As anger boils, fries and burns it will break down and change raw idea materials into food and energy and furthermore drive them into nicely cooked realizations to consume."
Watch the video.
