Mirning Country.

Sold

Description.

This commissioned artwork embodies a profound narrative of discovery, resilience, and reconnection spanning generations. Rooted in the ancestral heritage of the Mirning people of the far west coast, the story begins with a Great Grandfather, the son of a Mirning woman, who enlisted in war and returned to raise a family before his untimely passing.

For generations, the family’s Aboriginal heritage remained obscured, only recently unearthed, leading to a profound journey of reconciliation and belonging.

This artwork serves as a tangible link to ancestral roots. Inspired by the land and waters of the far west coast, it incorporates elements of native plants and animals, symbolising a spiritual connection to Country.

Embedded within the artwork lies a message of gratitude and a commitment to supporting reconciliation efforts in everyday life. It serves as a poignant reminder of identity, heritage, and the importance of honouring Aboriginal ancestors while inspiring a deeper sense of connection to the land and a shared journey towards healing and understanding.
