Chris Packer's Gotta Zip expands on his previous work, creating two composite sculptural paintings. A series of six large hanging works vibrate off each other and occupy the walls and upstairs mezzanine. Their long vertical zips reveal themselves as simple painted strips of fabric, where pure colours bounce off each other, twisting to reveal carefully coordinated colour shifts. As the viewer walks around or through these works, their harmonies adjust accordingly, each element pulsing to it's own logic while still connecting to the whole. Further into the space, a second work re-attaches painting to the wall.
