New work by Veronica Herber - her first solo exhibition with Melanie Roger Gallery.

"Veronica Herber uses torn washi tape and graphite to create a visual space that feels smoky, shifting, mysterious and almost cosmic.  The work could borrow an alternative title from the famous book of aesthetics by Junichiro Tanazaki - In Praise of Shadows". (Justin Paton, Senior Curator, International Art, Art Gallery of NSW, 2024)
