St Patricks College - Student Artwork

Written By Caleb Nichols-Mansell

Student artworks woven into a cultural composition of muttonbirds, tracks, and meeting places.

Following earlier engagement, I was commissioned to create a second artwork informed by student learning and collaboration with local Elders. Students submitted original artworks, which I digitised and wove into a new design featuring key cultural symbols such as muttonbirds, animal tracks, and meeting places. This suite of visual assets now supports the school’s internal and external communications, while the central composition honours our enduring relationship with Country, community, and culture.

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.
