Description
Summary:This article considers the themes of exclusion and embrace, noting how they are embedded within the author's own art-making practice, a recent doctoral inquiry into the theological question of the art of healing, and within her life with multiple sclerosis. The article addresses how art can be a remedy for the experience of social exclusion that can accompany illness and disability. It also addresses the need for art as a remedy for the experience of separation that follows when we attempt to exclude the possibility of illness and disability from a normal, healthy life. This article was delivered to open an Art Exhibition at the "Exclusion and Embrace: Disability, Justice & Spirituality Conference" in Melbourne, Australia on August 21, 2016.
