Carrie Gillen's "Almost/Exactly" is a contemporary mixed-media abstract artwork that explores the intersection of color, geometry, and sculptural tension. Set within a circular wooden frame, the composition features overlapping fields of cobalt blue, deep navy, teal, and soft lavender, accented by narrow bands of orange, pink, and cream. Through her distinctive use of stretched and manipulated fabric, Gillen transforms flat planes of color into dimensional forms, creating folds and gathered surfaces that introduce movement and depth. The convergence of fabric toward a central point creates a striking contrast between the precision of the geometric composition and the organic qualities of the material. "Almost/Exactly" reflects Gillen's ongoing exploration of the relationship between painting and sculpture, demonstrating how tension, material, and color can work together to challenge traditional notions of a painted surface.
