Songlines – Country, Identity and Belonging
This painting explores the sacred pathways of songlines that connect people to Country, place, purpose and identity.
Songlines are ancient cultural maps carried through story, song and memory. They guide movement across the land and hold the knowledge of ancestors, creation stories and cultural law.
The flowing forms throughout the work represent these pathways across Country. Each mark reflects movement through landscape, water, sky and time.
The painting reminds us that identity is not separate from land. We are shaped by the places we come from and the stories carried by our ancestors.
Through songlines we remember who we are, where we belong and the responsibilities we hold to Country.
