This is a visual journal of sorts.  It is a record of demands of parenting and homemaking while pursuing a creative life.  Each image reflects a different aspect of life. The accordion format suggests harmony between the obligation and desire.  The hands spell out the word balance in sign language, implying communication between the creative and nurturing pursuits.
