Cecelia Campochiaro
7 sense-ible questions for Cecelia
1) Eye delight - Your favourite views, sights or reads? Colours, books, movies?
Visiting art museums is my favorite view. Recently I saw a retrospective by Ai Weiwei in Seattle that was very sobering and also inspiring. I also very much enjoyed the Ruth Asawa retrospective at SFMOMA.
2) Close to the skin - What are your favourite feels/things to touch?
I like the feel of most natural fibers. Of course, the soft luxury fibers are my favorites, but I also like to touch linen or nubby silk. Fine linen cloth worn after many washings is so comfortable. Smooth, well-made tools from metal or wood are important.
3) Balance - What puts your life in balance?
I'm not sure it is balanced, as creativity often comes with obsession. But I like to walk, cook, visit the natural wonders in California, and go to the museums in San Francisco to escape my computer.
4) Scent cloud - Favourite odours/smells/perfumes?
Fresh flowers…freesia, magnolia, rose, gardenia...
5) Tasty delights - Favourite tastes/flavours/food?
My downfall is food and every cuisine has its delights: strongly flavoured Asian foods from Korea, India, and China; mild Asian foods from Japan; Italian or Mexican food; a great fresh salad; and almost any dessert.
6) Ear candy - Favourite songs, sounds and noises…?
I usually choose silence for my work, but like all kinds of music.
7) Favourite saying or quote
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." — Steve Jobs
