Presented within a circular wooden frame, the composition features overlapping fields of vibrant color, including saturated orange, yellow, green, pink, and deep burgundy, intersected by expanses of stretched and gathered fabric. Through her distinctive approach to material manipulation, Gillen transforms soft, flexible surfaces into sculptural forms, allowing tension, compression, and movement to become visible elements of the work. The contrast between smooth areas of color and tightly pulled folds creates a dynamic interplay of depth, texture, and geometry. Too Much / Not Enough exemplifies Gillen's multidisciplinary practice, challenging the traditional boundaries between painting and sculpture while exploring the expressive possibilities of everyday materials.
