DESCRIPTION: "Singer V" by Carol Wax is a striking mezzotint, numbered 14 out of an edition of 50, that showcases the artist's mastery in capturing the interplay of light and shadow through the meticulous mezzotint process. Wax’s approach begins with the preparation of the copper plate, she textures by methodically rocking it until it achieves a uniformly rough surface. This initial step is crucial as it sets the foundation for the rich, velvety blacks that are characteristic of the mezzotint technique. She carefully smooths areas of the plate to varying degrees, which allows her to create detailed gradations of tone from deep, absorbing blacks to vibrant reflective whites. This deliberate process enables Carol Wax to render images with incredible depth and luminosity, capturing subtle nuances that draw the viewer into a reflective engagement with the artwork.
