DESCRIPTION: "Singer Needle" is a compelling mezzotint by Carol Wax, numbered 48 out of a limited edition of 100 prints, which is designed to explore the nuanced interplay of light and shadow. This print, which showcases extraordinary depth and texture, invites viewers to delve into the subtleties of both the medium and the mundane. The rich gradations from deep blacks to subtle whites evoke a reflective appreciation of the detailed, labor-intensive process required to produce such effects. Carol Wax transitioned from a classical music student at the Manhattan School of Music to a renowned printmaker after discovering her passion for printmaking. The creation of mezzotint prints involves laboriously texturing a copper plate with a rocker, then gradually smoothing areas to create variations in tone that capture light differently during printing. Her expertise in printmaking, highlighted in her book "The Mezzotint: History and Technique," and her initial exhibition invitation from Sylvan Cole at the Associated American Artists Gallery, propelled her into a successful career as an artist and educator, continually expanding into painting and other paper works.
