Introducing Nartji Papipi (My Grandmother Kalkatungu) by Aboriginal Artist Justin Butler
We’re excited to share a new artwork by Aboriginal artist Justin Butler called Nartji Papipi (My Grandmother Kalkatungu). This beautiful piece is inspired by Justin’s grandmother, who was known for always wearing red, black, and yellow — the colors of the Aboriginal flag, which represents pride and identity for many Aboriginal people.
A Personal Story Told Through Symbols
This artwork is a tribute to Justin’s grandmother and his cultural heritage. It features symbols and animals that are important to Justin and his family, each with special meaning:
These elements come together in the artwork to tell a story about Justin’s background and the land his family comes from.
Bringing the Artwork to Life
We’re proud to feature Nartji Papipi across a new range of practical and artful everyday pieces — each one purposely designed to carry meaning and story into daily life:
Whether you're in the kitchen, travelling, or out and about, this collection brings Aboriginal art and culture into the everyday — in a way that’s both beautiful and functional.
