Artwork tracing water from Cradle Mountain to Bass Strait, carrying spirit and story.

Commissioned to create a welcoming and culturally resonant artwork for Tasmania Legal Aid’s Devonport office, I drew on the ridge-line of Wulinantikala/Cradle Mountain as a central motif. Fine line work traces the flows of water from the mountain through the Mersey River to Bass Strait, carrying the energy, memory, and spirit of our Old People as it moves across 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.
