Veronica Herber | Parkin Drawing Prize
Congratulations to Verronica Herber for her Highly Commmnded award at the Parkin Drawing Prize in Wellington this month. Judge Justin Paton (Senior Curator, International Art, Art Gallery of NSW) says of the work - "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".
"Awareness, The Key to it All"
