The organic structure of Nancy Cervenka's pieces really caught my eye. They reminded me of natural occurrences and elements that she captured with simple and unexpected media. She creates these sculptures out of movie film. Each takes its color and texture from the actual film stock's characteristics, whether they have been processed and unprocessed, over-exposed and under-expose. Nancy pursued a masters degree in cinematography from the U of S Florida, Tampa. She was a filmmaker and while doing so, was able to shoot, edit, and manipulate the film in order to project it onto the screen. Here she found her interest in being able to manipulate the material. She states that she enjoyed "handling the long strands of celluloid, watching the tiny images slide between her fingers, revealing blends of color, movement, patterns and flashes of light." This is incredible to me. Everything happens for a reason and inspiration could be found everywhere. She has created unbelievable work from discovering this passion.
