Sky Sports UK & Konstantina win a CLIO Award for British Lions Tour graphics

Sky Sports created a bold identity for the 2025 Lions Tour in Australia that captured the pride and spirit of the Lions while celebrating the First Nations culture of the host nation. The narrative centres on a Lion — built from Indigenous artist Konstantina’s original artwork —  The result resonated with fans, reached millions across broadcast and digital, and reinforced Sky’s reputation for innovative, respectful design. 

The Clio Awards were founded in 1959 to honour excellence in advertising around the world. The prestigious program, which has continuously evolved alongside the creative industry it champions, today celebrates boundary-pushing marketing, advertising and communications from the brands, agencies and organizations that shape popular culture and drive global commerce.

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.

Commission for SCG and Venues NSW

Konstantina has been commissioned to create a bespoke piece for the SCG and Venues NSW to hang in their boardroom.  The painting, "Muru" in the original language, spoken by the Gadigal of Sydney, means pathway. This is a map that I’ve designed based on research and yarns with Elders over time, and acknowledging much knowledge and wisdom held within the broader Sydney Aboriginal community around the pathways we believe existed pre-Colony. Many of these pathways were later turned into major roads, which became the arteries that feed the city of Sydney.

This piece has been made specifically for the Sydney Cricket Ground and the Middle Stump Inititative, so it was important for me to highlight where the SCG is in relation to this beautiful system of Muru. In fact the SCG sits on a key in junction or intersection both between original Sydney clan groups and its Muru.

This felt like a beautiful opportunity to create my own version of what I believe existed at this time for SCG, it resonated with me that sport has been a significant way for mob to exist in the Western world, our very first all Aboriginal cricket side smashed the English at their own game of cricket! AFL is a massive part of our modern story now also.

It felt, for me and maybe for our young children and for people more broadly who love sport, a pathway, through sport is successful pathway for our reconciliation.

This is Muru, in honour of all success.

Luke's Bistro & Bar QANTAS Terminal Sydney

Last year I was asked by amazing chef @lukesbistroandbarsydneyairport to create an artwork for his new bistro for @qantas at @sydneyairport.

This large scale work was created as two individual works at scale and then merged into a vinyl medium for the walls.
The colours of country were chosen to reflect a unique Australian colour palette and to reflect the authentic vibe that Luke had brought to the menu offering.

Super proud to be involved in this project.
