Marcus Camphoo is a Alywarra man, his involvement with the mens’ therapy art sessions gave him joy and increased confidence. Marcus has a certain grace and otherworldly quality that shines through in his total commitment and freedom to the work of exploring nuances of the grid. From the beginning it was clear Marcus has a natural affinity towards large gestural and bold abstraction of ancestral markings. The best of them resonate like portals to another dimension. He is the youngest member of the group and has a delightful sensitive nature.

Located in the heart of Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory, Nyinkka Nyunyu Art & Culture Centre is a leading Aboriginal cultural centre, museum and art gallery created by and for the Warumungu people of the Barkly Region. Established through the vision and leadership of Warumungu Traditional Owners, the Centre was created to protect a significant sacred site, preserve cultural knowledge, and share the stories, art and history of Warumungu Country with future generations and visitors alike.

Nyinkka Nyunyu is located beside a sacred site connected to the ancestral Nyinkka, the spiny-tailed goanna, an important creation being in Warumungu culture. The Centre's distinctive architecture draws inspiration from the scales and movement of the goanna, embedding this important cultural story into the design of the building itself. Guided by Warumungu Traditional Owners and operated by Julalikari Council Aboriginal Corporation, Nyinkka Nyunyu remains a place where art, culture, history and community come together—protecting cultural heritage while creating opportunities for learning, connection and cultural exchange.
