ANCESTREE HEALING ...Hishertree by tteerriitt 1
Added to each image in this album are their inspired stories to this emerging family HISHERTREE.
Each image has a word title that would have been spelt in English with "try" at the end like ancestry, carpentry, or infantry. I have added "tree" to replace the "try" and then taken their dictionary meanings that are only ever describing the outside physical world and married some spiritual elements.
For me this is adding the culture of the spirit light back into the English language.
The human beings body lives in the outside world of the physical but their inner self lives in the realm of spirit.

A. Branches of knowledge, beliefs, and memories united within individual story-lines from past ancestral experiences handed down through oral, recorded, written, DNA, anecdotal, trauma, art practices, cultural, language or story-lines from collective ancestree.
B. Leaves continuously, systematically growing and redefining the inner and outer narratives of past & present events as relating to a particular place, natural phenomena, race, religion, indigenous origin, people, country, period, individual, tribal, nation, crafted in either writing, dance, drama, film, music, photography, collage, installations through postliminy, chronological, spiral aggregate accounts that will or can shape the course of futures.
This image is the view from the Roundhouse prison, looking eastwards along High Street in Fremantle, Western Australia.
The water image I superimposed over that image is my creative attempt to symbolise a cleansing of any bad spirits or tragic trauma energy still lingering in the landscape or in our collective ancestral heritage.
This view would have originally been of native vegetation that would have been evolving in this harsh environment for thousands and thousands of years and slowly over the past 100 years it has slowly transformed into this view.
The Roundhouse prison, I have been told by an Indigenous leader, was built on top of one of the most significant sacred sites of the local Indigenous Noongar people.
When the Roundhouse prison could no longer keep up with the demands of the burgeoning new European colony their governing authorities sent their excess prisoners over the sea to an island that is off the coast directly behind this view and imprisoned them there. On of Henry Martin Jarvis's sons
This Island is now called Rottnest and was another sacred place to these same Noongar people and is now a holiday resort for the inhabitants of Western Australia and tourists alike who generally have no ideas of this islands tragic history.
The Roundhouse prison was built from the very limestone rock that made up this sacred site and the prison was used to incarcerate these local Indigenous souls as well as the increasing convicts being imported from the over populated prisons in Great Britain who did not have a "Ticket of Leave pass".
The buildings you see flowing out down this avenue, captured in this image are also built out of the sacred limestone from the other sacred hills from around this area and the timber was from sacred ancient local Jarrah, She Oak, Tuart, and Marri forests.
The Roundhouse prison was the first building constructed on the south side of the Swan River by the inhabitants of the new Western Australian Swan River Settlement. This Roundhouse prison was built by the father of the first wife of my great great Grandfather, Henry Martin Jarvis (c. 1827 Warbleton, Lewes, Sussex, England).
Henry's first wife’s was Clara Foss Duffield (married... 17 Mar 1854 Wesleyan Chapel, Fremantle, Western Australia) and had come out from England on one of the first ships that had come to this new settlement originally on the Northern side of the Swan River with her family.
My great great Grandfather was a Sapper (Carpenter) in the British army and he came out from Great Britain on the ship "Marion" ...http://sappers-minerswa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Jarvis-on-Marion.jpga
Royal Engineers 20th Company (formerly Royal Sappers & Miners). Service No. and Rank #2324 Sapper.
The "Marion" ship carrying convicts to the fledgling Swan River settlement. "Marion" departed Portland 2 Nov 1851 and arrived Fremantle 30 Jan 1852.
This site gives a complete breakdown of Henry Jarvis''s Military history; sappers-minerswa.com/sappers-index/sappers-g-m/jarvis-henry/
Henry’s job was to teach the convicts the skills they would need to build the infrastructure for this new fledgling settlement in Western Australia.
Some of that infrastructure he would have been involved with at that time was the construction of the large Fremantle prison still standing on Hampton Rd, the Asylum, now the Fremantle Art Center and the earlier Fremantle Bridges.
This image is only one in a set crafted to create a sense of redress between my original ancestors from England, Scotland and the European Continent and their impact on the ancient peoples, their cultures and the sacred land, forests and animals that had all cohabited together here for who knows how long before the arrival of the first Westerners only a few hundred years ago.
After spending some years delving into my mother’s family’s genealogical story (started late 2007) I found myself amazed and very surprised with what I kept digging up. I had no idea how many relatives there were let alone what roles they had played in the original development of the first European settlements here in Western Australia.
Not only did truths slowly emerge up out of the mists of time as I waded through many free internet sites full of facts and figures relating directly to my connections to ancestral roots but also and just as profoundly was the large number of those relatives I had no idea existed or that their ancestors still lived locally and around the world that also had no idea of our ancestral root connections.
Many stories, so many people’s lives and families converging to build my family tree.
So many truths needing, even busting to be known and then demanding to be understood by being placed into their rightful context.
To find all these amazing family story’s has been an immense gift and a very freeing experience. Then there are all these beautiful people I have been so honoured to have met and connected with on many different levels who all have great stories of their own.
On top of all these wonderful experiences and enlightened truths there are other greater stories that just keep bubbling up to the surface wanting to be born into the realm of consciousness.
These greater stories have to be given a voice. This set of superimposed images is my humble attempt to give these story’s their first breaths into this world we all have come into to learn and understand about our collective oneness, we are all branches and leaves of one family tree.
