A wall of 350 marked timber blocks mapping shared intentions and connection to Lutruwita.

In partnership with Weave and NAB, I facilitated a large-scale participatory artwork during a corporate gathering in Nipaluna. Guests were invited to make intentional marks using pyrography tools on 350 recycled timber blocks. These contributions were later assembled into a sculptural wall hanging that now resides in NAB’s Melbourne headquarters. The work is a collective reflection of individual stories, intentions, and shared connection to Lutruwita and Country.

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.
