KTAFA × Workskil Australia

Out on Country was the first of two artworks Kelilah Taylor-Ware created for Workskil Australia, commissioned as part of their Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan 2024–2026.

The artwork showcases the importance of being connected to the land, family, and community. It depicts families coming together to hunt and gather traditional foods, teaching their children important cultural practices, and sharing stories around the campfire. The surrounding trees, sand hills, rock holes, and waterholes all hold cultural significance and are integral to the community's way of life.

Out on Country celebrates the rich culture, traditions, and connection to the land that are at the heart of First Nations communities. Elements of the artwork feature on Workskil Australia's First Nations branded materials and on the cover of their Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan.

Kelilah's artwork extends beyond the canvas, appearing across Workskil Australia's branded materials — from stationery and lanyards to notebooks — and at offices across the country.

The artwork features on the cover of Workskil Australia's Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan, a formal commitment to advancing reconciliation by building trust, understanding and respect between First Nations people and the wider community.

For Workskil Australia, the collaboration is part of a broader commitment to creating welcoming spaces for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across their national network of offices.
