Ancestral Lines by Jeremy Morgan Worrall
This artwork is a visual representation of the generational lines that carry through my mob.
When I think of the next generation, I think towards my ancestors—Lucy Wright, Enoch Wright,
Nonie Wright—through to my Nanna Audrie and my Mother Vanessa. Looking back gives
me the strength and vision to look forward. Each 昀椀gure in the painting is tied to family lines,
like songlines, re昀氀ecting what they knew and what they passed on. The 昀椀rst represents lore,
hunting, and tracking. The second re昀氀ects care, weaving, and love. The third shows the
two combined, while the 昀椀nal two carry un昀椀nished elements—symbols of knowledge and
care in motion. Above them sits the essence of Country—swirling skies and a giant moon
over Emmaville. It is by the 昀椀re, under these cool skies, where the next generation 昀椀nds their
strength, vision, and legacy.
