ABOUT THE ARTWORK

J. Emmett explores the feelings of isolation and overwhelm underneath the facade and expectation of having your shit together throughout times of challenge and growth. Nestled within the Rosehill Series, Submerged 1 and 2 embody his experiences sitting on the east pond on the Rosehill Cemetery grounds during the cold months of every year. These moments where wildlife and still fed him and provided profound moments of inspiration and strength renewal. Submerged exemplifies the muted and numb embodiment of life when it becomes too much and features a goose feather from a family of geese he made and whom reminded him of his self worth.

Artist Statement Within my practices I intend to articulate beauty as an inherent quality in all forms - even the seemingly grotesque - as a means to honor life and to challenge harmful, systemic ideology. I explore various concepts through my artwork and sometimes the hardest concept to explore is self and the expression of self. Regardless of conceptual center, I aim to strip down pretense and show up as authentically as possible to each piece. I hope to be challenged by my work and that it antagonizes systems that capitalize off of unconscious living. I am looking for a connection to something deeper, a truth to feel confronted or comforted by. Connection is my center and whether it be my paintings, woodworking or sculpture practices, building a relationship to and understanding the materials I work with is imperative. 2 Fun Facts: I am looking for personal and collective liberation and some of my best friends are dogs.
