Mezzotint
Carol Wax
My imagery is inspired by the humor and humanity I see in the designs of industrial relics. Hands that manufactured and used abandoned toys, vintage textiles, and outdated technology speak to me across time. By resurrecting and reinterpreting utilitarian objects in contemporary contexts, I explore our underlying relationships with the material things we create, consume, and cast away.
""My work seeks to reveal the hidden monumentality within the ordinary. Through the unforgiving process of mezzotint, I slowly coax light out of pure darkness, creating a stage where everyday objects become actors in a silent, dramatic narrative.""
