This artwork titled "A growing inconvenience?" depicts the artist's hand reaching across two canvases to represent the divide between those considered normal and those living with disabilities. The artist hopes the piece continues the conversation around what disability means and how to build a more inclusive world for all.
Family reunions may have the capacity to ground people in a sense of place, of home and of family, and provide, if at least briefly, a sense of connection.

A growing inconvenience?
ARTIST: Annie Young
A growing inconvenience? is my interpretation of what it means to live with a
disability diff-ability. My hand reaching across two canvases represents the divide
between those who are considered ‘normal’ and those who live with disability. It is
my hope that this piece continues the conversation as to what disability diff-ability
means and how we can move towards growing a beautifully inclusive world!
