Moving Forward: Message Stick Pen

Featuring artwork by Casey Amos (Yankunytjatjara, Arabana and Kokatha)

A meaningful gift with a story to tell.

The Moving Forward: Message Stick Pen features artwork by First Nations artist and Australian Army veteran Casey Amos, adapted from one of his original message stick designs.

Message sticks have been used for thousands of years by First Nations peoples to carry important messages between communities. Carried on this pen, Casey’s artwork creates a meaningful connection between this enduring cultural tradition and the messages we continue to share through the written word.

The artwork also reflects Casey’s philosophy of moving forward with purpose and optimism for what lies ahead. An Australian Army veteran, Casey discovered art as a powerful form of healing and creative expression through his journey with PTSD.

Crafted from natural rosewood and metal, this premium ballpoint pen pairs a warm timber barrel with a refined metal twist cap, giving it a beautifully balanced, substantial feel in the hand. A smooth twist-to-write mechanism reveals a metal refill offering up to 1,500 metres of writing distance, making it as practical and enduring as it is meaningful.

Each pen is presented in a sleek black gift box and includes an enclosed story card sharing Casey’s artist bio and the story behind the artwork.

A considered gift for colleagues, clients, teachers, leaders and loved ones, or a beautiful addition to your own desk.
