"Re:Imagined" Impulse Magazine's Editors’ Selects for November 2025 - Standout exhibitions in New York City and beyond.

..."The tactility of the paintings holds a connection to their craft; what constitutes a historical object and what constitutes art is blurred in her work. The abstract and scientific combine, each informing the other and reinventing itself. The paintings recenter the Gadigal people in their history. Konstantina finds a way to communicate the trauma of being dislocated, isolated, and erased by re-engaging with cultural memory and reinterpreting it in a modern context. Millions of miles away from its home, Gadigal culture is being revitalized in the act of recreation."

There is a freshness, a feeling of contemporaneity in Konstantina’s expansive canvases and stretched possum skins, stitched with sparkling beads.

2025 Calleen Art Award Winner!

The biggest 24 hrs l've had in a long time!

So many thanks to the Cowra Art Gallery for having my work on display and wonderful patrons Mr & Mrs Fagen who generously support this prize.

I am the 50th winner of Calleen Art Prize and I can't wipe the smile from my face!

Calleen Art Award

Willie Weston Collection

For nearly 10 years, Willie Weston has honoured First Nations stories from the most remote corners of Australia, and more recently Naarm (Melbourne), through our fabrics and wallpapers. We are excited to present our latest collection, celebrating the rich heritage of the Gadigal – some of the traditional custodians of Sydney’s harbour region – created in partnership with renowned artist, Kate Constantine.

 Our collection reveals another side to the artist - her delicate, confident line work and sketching.  The collection invites calm reflection, a consideration of the natural world, and a celebration of our coastal regions.

GOSFORD ART PRIZE

Konstantina has been announced as a Finalist in this year's Gosford Art Prize for the painting "Murrira" (pronounced moor- reere).

Murrira is the Gadigal word for line or chorded string usually made from native Hibiscus or Kurrajong bark.

This work is inspired by the re-making of our original Gadigal practises based on a multi-year project with the @britishmuseum . The artwork is made at the same time as I learn to make the original traditional chord and so contains the ancient practise and wisdom of the Culture of my people. It is a physical annotation, a remembering of this Culture and therefore a conduit to the past from the present.
