Invisible domestic chores.

Imprisoned by Domestic tasks-
Liberated by Artistic Tasks!

Partnership usually means 'Woman's Work'
 is deemed to be the woman's main responsibility. 

Woman's domestic  experiences
can be expressed in artistic ways.

Domesticity is performed by many women-even when tired and not in the mood!
women are a important  within society, this role can be many things, housewife,mother,part-time worker,career,both,
domestic chores provide a  clean environment and happy home, but can also stifle women's potential.
I hope to elevate the importance this invisible domestic work, which only becomes visible when not done!!
