This is a series of six drawing made over six days. It is a portrait of Kathryn Dolby. The movement of her body through space was traced, marked and copied onto the paper. Images of her clothes from a photocopy machine were erased into these lines. In this project, Gleeson attempted to interrogate the process of drawing a ‘portrait’ by experimenting with different parts that make one. The way we move, the way we dress, what is left behind, what is left in front?
