Artist Statement
A Journey Home, a Roaming House series by Joey Embers, tells a story of growth, discovery, and the overwhelming emotions of self-worth. These works stem from the internal process of reflecting on life, examining who he is and giving himself permission to look inward. The artist’s goal is to eliminate the invasive nature of time. These houses are stuck in the forever moving landscapes of emotions. What happens when we hit pause? What happens when we take back time? Joey is able to live inside each moment and mark each moment with the creative process putting together the puzzle pieces of his art. This series maps his journey home, finding his voice through the fluidic language of paint and color.
