Joseph Watt, born 1937, is a Lardil man from Barrakiah country in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland. He paints at Mornington Island Art. As a young man Watts travelled throughout Queensland for work before returning to Mornington Island and joining the internationally renowned Mornington Island Dancers. He toured around Australia with the Dancers for many years, before beginning to paint at the Art Centre alongside other senior male artists.

Artwork story: These are my totem’s body stripes I paint on my body when I paint up as Dibirdibi – the river rock cod.
