Ancestral Lines is a visual representation of the lines and ties that follow a generation and the songs that come with it.
When I think of the next generation I think towards my Ancestor Lucy Wright, Enoch Wright, Nonie Wright, all the way from my Nanna Audrie to my Mother Vanessa.
When I look back at my mob it helps me see towards the future, it gives me hope and strength knowing what my mob have survived through and accomplished amid adversity.
Each person in the painting depicts a series of lines akin to songlines, that represent what they know, who they were and what they have passed on, the first being that of lore (interpretive), hunting, protecting, and tracking, the second of care, weaving, fishing, and love.
The third is when we see the two combine into one, and the last two take unfinished elements of them all, to show the passing down of knowledge and care.
Above them is the essence of the land they live and protect/care for. It is a depiction of my home the cold skies of Tenterfield with the swirling clouds and giant moon, a place around the fire is where the next Generation find their strength, vision and legacy.

As one of the leading providers of homelessness services in Australia, The Salvation Army's Homelessness Week campaign seeks to raise awareness of and advocate for solutions around the issue of homelessness.
Everyone deserves a safe and affordable home; and to experience the ‘good’ that comes from secure housing — social connection, improved health and wellbeing, stable employment, and more.
The Salvation Army believes it is possible to end homelessness in Australia — for good.
We encourage all members of our community, including Salvos staff, volunteers, corps, partner organisations, and government sectors, to work together to eradicate homelessness — for good!
The Salvation Army acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters throughout Australia.
We pay our respect to Elders and acknowledge their continuing relationship to this land and the ongoing living cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia.
We also acknowledge future aspirations of all First Nations peoples.
Through respectful relationships we will work for the mutual flourishing
of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians and non-Indigenous Australians.
We commit ourselves in prayer and practice to this land of Australia and its people, seeking reconciliation, unity and equity.
