Gotta Zip

Image: Chris Packer, Colour Column (detail).

Chris Packer's Gotta Zip expands on his previous work, with two composite sculptural paintings. A series of six large hanging works occupy the entrance to the upstairs mezzanine, their long vertical zips of pure colour bouncing off each other or twisting to reveal carefully coordinated shifts. As the viewer walks around or through these works, their harmonies adjust accordingly, each element pulsing to its own logic while still connecting to the whole. Further into the space, a second series of six interconnected works re-attaches painting to the wall, with zips on gridded wire stretchers again exploring colour in three dimensions.

can’t get here from there...

can’t get here from there...(installation view), 2014. Photographer: silversalt.
 
can’t get here from there... is a site specific painted installation that continues my exploration of how an over-saturation of visual information often experienced in contemporary cities can
effect our perception. It is a response to the pervasive influence of screen based technologies,
a media saturated environment and the ease of which imagery can be endlessly manipulated.
Interconnected abstracted elements will colonises the gallery space, wrapping around corners
and traversing the walls. This installation is a spatial investigation into how we see, experience
and represent the world and explores how our mind and body responds to what is often an overwhelming amount of information received by our eyes.
