Visual identity affirming visibility and belonging in school-based apprenticeship pathways.

Commissioned to create a suite of culturally recognisable artworks, I developed a visual identity for Aboriginal Education Services’ School-Based Apprenticeship Program. The initiative supports learners to earn while they study, yet has historically seen low engagement from Aboriginal students. Through this artwork, the aim was to foster visibility, encourage participation, and visually affirm that this pathway is designed for, and welcomes, our community.

Caleb Nichols-Mansell

Caleb Nichols-Mansell moves between Country, culture, and contemporary practice — weaving stories from land, spirit, and community into powerful visual languages. As a proud Palawa man, Caleb's work bridges the ancient and the evolving, reimagining Aboriginal knowledge systems through design, public art, and digital storytelling.

His practice is rooted in Country and carried forward through site-responsive interventions, graphic and surface design, and large-scale public commissions. Through intricate textures, flowing linework, and bold organic forms, Caleb invites reflection on identity, resilience, and the enduring strength of Palawa people.

His works have been commissioned by leading institutions across Australia, including MONA, University of Tasmania, Arts Tasmania, Australian Fashion Week, Lifeline Australia, and the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra; embedding stories of survival, connection, and contemporary Aboriginal identity into the cultural, public, and built environment.
