"My father Baluka is a well known artist and he has taught me my sacred clan designs. I also follow my grandfather, Nanyin, and his brother, Narratjin, who was one of the first Yolu artists to be recognised by the Australian people. I live in my Mangalili clan lands at Djarrakpi, my wife's land at Balma, and at Gapuwiyak. I play the role of Dalkarra, with full knowledge of the law, songs, patterns and designs and sacred business for the Virritja moiety."
