JoAnn Purcell, Disability Daily Drawn, mixed media on paper, 4x4 inches, 2016.

This project commenced May 2016 and began as an investigation into the experience of living beside disability, specifically as a mother of a child with Down syndrome. The quotidian encounters were transposed daily into a 4-panel comic to encapsulate each encounter. The child responded to the images by adding colour.
