Jay Edward Roth (b. 1975 Willimantic, Ct) is an American artist who lives and works in Philadelphia. His current work examines representations of entitlement and exclusion in multiple contexts. Whether exploring national identity, commercial consumption, or mental health and trauma, he is drawn to images that reflect how the meaning of objects change over time.
