"Nyungkuny (Hairy Man) he’s around, he travels, he’s a shape shifter; he can turn into animals, anthills and trees. When we hunt for Killa (wild cattle) we leave him some beef to satisfy him. When he’s close he will mimic animal sounds like a bird, he’ll warn you that he’s there. You have to respect country, respect him. Don’t go muck about with country.

Dwayne was bought up by renowned Warmun artist Jack Britten and has adopted many of the techniques and a similar style to his father. Dwayne paints the traditional country of his father - Purnululu (Bungle Bungles)."
