This series of drawings accompanied and aided the works in the project ‘Pose and Otiose’. These are the Gouache Girls, drawings based on the true and intimate interactions between model and artist. They are made hyper-true and hyper-intimate through gouache and ink. Gleeson is interested in how this particular relationship (artist-model) can develop our understanding of the poser (who is commonly undifferentiated to womens bodies) for a varied engagement with womens bodies.
