zzzz was a drawing project I began on May 4, 2021, a few months after my first daughter was born. Each drawing was made while she was taking a nap. To determine how the drawing would be made, I flipped a coin. If it landed on heads, the negative space was black. If it landed on tails, the negative space was white.
The project had the following parameters:
- A nap is a drawing session. Only one drawing could be made during a session. Multiple drawings could be made each day.
- Drawing began once my daughter fell asleep. If she woke up before I started, then I missed my opportunity to make a drawing.
- Each drawing is labeled on the back with the date, the time I finished, and is numbered.
